There is no unnecessary panic about the need to change the bike, there are different solutions to solve this problem and lower the bike so that it is completely comfortable. Increase the height of your motorcycle by a few centimeters using one of three solutions:
Use a lowering kit
This method is undoubtedly the best for most situations and motorcycles.
Generally motorcycle lowering kit It consists change suspension traction on the rear shock and can do dial up to 5 cm... To balance the bike after installing the kit, you must adjust the height of the fork tubes in the triple trees in front. If you don't, the bike will sag in the back, the chassis will be less manoeuvrable, and your headlight won't illuminate the road correctly! Therefore, we have to reassemble these fork tubes in half of the millimeters obtained from the back: if you increase the length by 50 mm at the back, the tubes should be reassembled by 25 mm.

The motorcycle settings do not undergo any changes and therefore will not affect the behavior of your two-wheeled bike. You can dial from about 3 cm to 6 cm... However, in order to make this modification as accurate as possible, it will be necessary to turn to a saddler.
Blowing out the saddle can impair your comfort, there will actually be less foam and therefore less comfort. Gel insertion can solve this problem, but the thickness of the saddle will be increased.
Adjust the shock absorber
The latter decision is delicate because it changes the behavior of your motorcycle... The principle is to unload the spring to get a few millimeters in the back so the bike is much more flexible. It is best to consult a professional before making such a modification.
