HI All
My wife has a 2007 KLR but it is slightly too tall for her, riding is no problem it's the stopping that is giving her nightmares as she has to be on tippy toes and then try and balance.
What will be the best way to drop it approximately 5cm Hollow out the foam on the seat( It is alrady a ass numbing ride) or lowering links but I have heard that it might change the ergonomics of the bike plus i will have to get a shorter side stand.
Insights will be appreciated
