How to adjust my dirt bike to my size?
I ride a Honda XR500, I'm 6'5 and was wondering how do you lower your pegs and how do you make your seat higher. For the pegs do you have to lower the gear shifter and brake too? When I stand up on the bike the height is pretty good but when I sit down it sinks quite a bit, I'm about 270lbs, can you adjust the suspension for that too? Detailed answer would help please.
I wouldn't change the peg position it will require moving everything else and will reduce clearance with the ground and off road objects.
Custom seat. Bar risers.
You can get after market suspension for your rear and front online. For the front, put some heavier oil. Also, don't move the pegs, last thing you want is lower clearance to the ground. You can get a little taller seat and you can get a riser kit for your handle bars.
- Trying to adjust caster: How to convert inches to degrees? Caster on the driver side is nearly 4 degrees more than the passenger side which is in spec at 2.2. The driver side is at 5.9 positive caster and right now I'm trying to figure out the amount of washers I need to help with the issue. I looked around online and found caster spacers for honda vehicles that come in 1/8 and 1/16. How would I convert inches to degrees?

- What size dirt bike should I get? I want to buy a dirtbike. I don't know what size I should get though. I'm 5'4 and 120 pounds. I know how to ride a dirtbike I've had one before. I don't want one to small or way to big. I was thinking like a Honda XR100 or yamaha TTR125 or suzuki DRZ125 Are those to small? Those 3 dirtbikes the seat heights are a few inches below my waist. I think that's to small. What dirtbike do you think would be good for me?
