Too tall? - SV650.org

11-07-05, 01:31 PM

I am 6' tall w/34" inseam and am having problems getting comfortably situated on my 2000 sv650. The problem is my knee position - cant get them snugged into the tank. I tried altering the shifter lever - this didnt help. I have checked my riding position - balls of feet on pegs - not crowding the tank etc.. I wonder if anyone else has this problem or if there are aftermarket seats that could help.
Thank you in advance.

Some aftermarket adjustable rear sets might help. Basically you can move the pedals and pegs around.

not to try to convert you, but some of the taller riders i know have defected to TDMs

ask Fubar from the Pennine Massive for his advice, tell him Backfire (Carl) sent you

I'm 6" 3 and have trouble getting comfy. I slide around the seat depending on how hard i'm pushing - if i keep moving about i don't notice the comfort problems.

Either way i figure whatever bike i end up with i'll have size issues... just like when trying to buy leathers for a 44" chest and a 32" waist, nothing that looks good fits.
