I know that feeling
, as TB said staintune are an option as are TK pipes, both Australian made tooHi Kat,
um have you thought of seeing if something like a KTM 200 exc ( 125-300 exc seat height 985mm), or XR, TTR/WR/KLX 250 can be lowered enough to suit your height?
just it would be a far cheaper option (not potion :blink: ) to upgrade it later on over the 230. i.e. suspension, brakes, engine tuning etc. etc. and the pipe/ muffler combo
i’m not bagging the 230 in any way, it is just that they are a less popular model ATM than the likes of the 200 exc.
and performance gains to $$$ $pent ratio is less than what could be achieved with a model that has a larger production number/ popularity, with all sorts of gear readily available almost off the shelf at most dealers
maybe ask around the dealers ,close to you if they have lowered bikes for the vertically challenged
.i know some put lowering links in the rear, and you can lower the forks some in the triple clamps. but how much can be gained i do not know.
what about running smaller wheels on a 250? i had the thought of if you run 17 inch on the front you could use a super motard speedo set up to get the right speed reading,
however i would not know how it would affect the overall performance of the steering, handling and suspension. and if you run 17″ on the front what size you would run on the rear?
yeah i know i’ve been of little help with your Q? and only complicated the issue :blush: with all sorts of options you did not ask for :unsure:
