Hi,
I'm looking at getting a wr400, but I had a couple questions about seat height. I sat on a drz (34-35inches?) and could have my feet pretty much flat on each side. I can also ride my friends honda 230's with no problem, but I think they have a similar 34/35 inch seat height.
I looked at the stats for the wr400 and they say 39inches at it's lowest setting. Am I going to have a problem? I'll be wearing boots, so that should give me a little height, but I can't imagine tippy toeing in boots being very easy. I know that with the motard set up it should drop to 35-36 inches is my crappy math skills prove me right, but I plan on keeping the stock dirt rims for a while until I muster up enough cash for some 17's.
One more thing. The current owner says that the forks/springs were redone for a 200lb rider, does that mean they are lower, or just softer or harder? (I'm about 160lbs)
