K4 SV650s Height Question.

Hi All,

I recently purchased a k4 sv650s and I would just like some information on bike height. I wouldn't classify myself as being a small person - about 5'10 I would think.

While sitting on the SV I am on my tippy toes (prob the best way to say it) so it seems that it is higher than standard. I am just wondering if there are any benefits to leaving the bike at this height or should I look into lowering it back down slightly? For instance, is handling improved with having the bike higher or am I not gaining any advantage and would be better to lower the bike so that I have better ability to keep feet on the ground when stationary, walk the bike backwards, etc, etc

As this is my first bike and as I'm new to the whole biking scene - I'm just looking for the best advice from fellow experienced bikers as to the best way to have the bike setup so my learning curve would be improved.

Again - as mentioned I'm new to all this so if pictures would assist in identifying anything or for extra clarification, let me know and I will organize getting some pics up later :thumbsup:

*** Just noticed my spelling error on the title - should have been "height" - wooooops - back to school I go....

Cheers
