    So I finally brought home the wr250 I love it! Only thing is it is huge! I’m only 5’8 and it’s hard to get my leg over lol. I’m going to set the sag to my weight which should help a bit but anyone else think they are way too tall? Anyone use a lowering link or just compress the shock a lot? I’m not riding any crazy terrain or jumps so I can sacrifice the suspension a bit.

    Yes. Every time I pick up another WR, I remember how tall they are.

    But at 5'9, I always used to it in a ride or two. Never notice it riding, only getting on and off. I just got in the habit of finding a rock/log/gutter etc, to give me a standing point.

    All my dirtbikes are tall. But I like some ground clearance in rocky terrain, so I leave the height alone, except for using softer seat foam and making sure that the suspension has the proper working sag in it....and I'm only 5'5, so probably the shortest of this bunch.
