Hey all,

Im new, and just picked up a 2007 r50x for $500. Of course there were some flaws to it like scratchs and probably fell over before o well. Anyways Im short and I was wondering if anyone had tips on how I could lower the scooter without having shave the chair?

How short? Lets say im basicly on my toes or have to lean on 1 side on my toe. If i sit, pretty much i cant touch the ground.

Help would be great thanks

Chris

hey Chris,
 So thats sweet !
but a bit unsafe  ALWAYS tip the scoot to the high side of a
road ,incline or hill   when stopping , going the other way
the scoot can end up on top of you!!

well the tires will need to be changed to some low profile type
 to shorten the seat height
or maybe get some other rims?   but those 13" wheels are what is
making the scoot so tall.
