lamash · 09-01-2007, 12:50 PM

hey i am looking at buying a 2001 honda cr125. the bike is in really good shape but the only problem is that the seat height is a little to high for me and i am tippy toes on the bike. the tires on it are 21 and 19 anyone no what's the smallest tires you can have on this bike thanks.

What are you going to be using the bike for? I think the smallest you can get for that bike is possibly an 18" rear wheel.. The front cant be any smaller than a 21" I believe.

The problem may not lay in the wheels anyway. Have you tried adjusting the height of the centre spring?

Typically you shouldnt be able to flat foot a dirt bike anyway. But like i say, if you feel it needs lowering to make you more comfortable you should adjust the centre spring. This will bring the ride height down

ya thats what i been told that you can change or adjust the main spring and will lower it i wanted to make sure before i by a bike.

you can adjust the spring to its softest setting and you can buy a softer spring for the bike, I lowered a bike for a Suzuki 125 about 2'' by just changing the setting on the centre spring

just lower the bike

YOU CAN ALWAYS SHAVE THE FOAM DOWN ON THE SEAT AND THEN PULL THE COVER TIGHTER. ITS NO AS COMFORTABLE FOR LONG RIDES BUT YOU CAN GET YOUR FEET 2 INCHES CLOSER TO THE GROUND WITHOUT SACRAFICIN YOUR SUSPENSION.
