    Not sure where to go with this question, I am a slow rider with a fast rider grin and just got a new to me 2008 wr250. I cannot touch the ground with either foot, both just dangle. don't have the hundreds of dollars to lower properly. I am thinking of shaving the seat and putting a 110/80X18 rear tire on. Any body else done this? Any recommendations on a rear tire that size, might be hard to find. I see lots of 110/90x18. Thanks

    Set your sag up properly and you might find the ground clearance might improve....what's your height and weight?

    I set my sag then took 1" off the seat when my bike was new.I've got about a 32" inseam.It sits a bit lower now and I think it's perfect.I don't have any tire suggestions,never gave it much thought in reference to ride height.I keep my forks pretty high up in the clamps just above the third line on tubes.

    I also raised the forks for now. Not the best option, I know... But it helps some.

    be carful when cutting the foam out on my seat base there is a raised rectangular bit not even sure why its there if you cut it down too far its a dam uncomfy ride.
    the tyres if you go for a lower cross section that may help so instead of a 110 wide by 80 tall the 80 is a percentage of the tyre with so a tyre wich is 110 90 is taller than the 110 by 80.. unless ive completly messed up an have confused everyone.
    sorry if thats the case.

    Just noticed that my 2008 WR250 has a 19" rear wheel, is this right?

    yes
    A WR should have an 18" rear. CRs have a 19.
