i need some advice as im taking my full bike test in may yes thats a while away but that sjust the UK for you, i need to know the seat height on the supermoto XTC 250 as i am a short rider only 5'7 860mm seat height is the maximum at which i feel comfortable i reade a review form a few years ago saying this man at 5'7 could easily sit on one, but that was on 16 inch wheels not the 17 inch wheels at the current, if it is over 860mm seat height is it possible to lower it to that or lower stil?l
According to the Pitster website specs, the bike has a 37" seat height/34.5" on lower link, not sure on how to convert that to metric, but this is the specs link

ChinaV is our Galaxy XTR guru, but his is the enduro, not the motard, but I bet he can give you first hand info
Which bike do you have, as Galaxy and Puzey/Pitster Pro are not the same? Puzey is now made by an OEM, but used to be made by Shuopu Science where the Pitster XTR 250 comes from, and Galaxy makes their own XTR 250 :confused1:
No wonder nobody buys them….a 37” seat height is insane you would need a step stool to get on and off it. I suppose a woman is behind this error, one that thinks she is getting 8 when only getting 5 1/2? WTF have people have lost all sense of dimension and perception?
MJH you are a valued member here and probably no more insane than any of the rest of us. However today some of your posts are offensive or at least very much on the edge as you are no doubt very aware.
Please check yourself over and try and calm down or whatever you usually do to rein yourself in. If it is meds then take one, if it is anger or hurt for something off forum then PM me and I will happily talk, even on phone.
If you are just trying to be a bastard like me then you are failing, not pulling it off. Relax man.
XTR is 940mm (36-1/4 inches)
It's a dirt bike... all dirt bikes have a tall seat height.
There's no problem for a 171cm (5 foot 7-1/3 inch) person to ride the motard version.

Drop the forks in the triple clamps and soften up the spring until you get comfortable.
Cheers!

这位帅哥像谁
looks like who?
This "boy". hahaha....

(I know I should post in TIC thread, off topic, 罪过..罪过..)

You mean he's a handsome boy? I can't tell what is what these days.
I was pretty handsome once 40 years ago lol ... now I am an ugly old bugger - and I didn't take any hormones!
I broke my arm….120 pain killers later… and I have drank a half a bottle of Tequila… since it happened on FEB -1. I now have a steal plate with 14 screws in it…. I think the Tequila got to me, I am not taking both I had to quit the pain killers I felt an addiction coming I kind of missed them? I had a bottle of 1800 in the cupboard for years…I never thought I ever drink that much that fast!
I am sober now…..for now.
It fucking sucks….I fractured the radial in three places lost my footing on a sheet of ice and jammed it into the wrist, I passed out when I looked at it, the arm was bent.
I am very very ornery lately.
Culture gap?
td_ref is refering to this "woman"

Are you getting good medical care? You are up to five weeks since your fall, so hopefully you're making some progress by now.
In any case, you've got friends in MyChinaMoto, and we're all rooting for you to get better soon.
I'll temporarily raise my "orneriness tolerance threshold" (OTT), so feel free to spleen out at me if you want. Hope you can give us regular updates on your healing.
I also apologize for my snide remark in another thread. Hope you can accept!
cheers and get well soon,

Well if you wish we can treat it as an aberration.
Some of us have difficulty understanding you anyway at the best of times. Yes, communication is a two-way street but when it comes to losing it you are as able as any of us it seems. Please try to keep your posts free of direct insult and so on. Thats my job ... :naughty: and others moderate me.
Parts of this thread are now way off topic, which is fun and acceptable - present transgender questions to one side, let us not further insult women or men with small cocks or a liking for bathing in ketchup and get back to motorcycles. That, you do very well!
Thank you for your candour, I wish you well with your recovery - and having resisted prescription drug opiate dependency myself I know that story well, you are to be commended in not accepting that solution. Maybe tequila is a bit of a monster, try sips of a good brandy?
You are appreciated in all your difference MJH so stay with us as best you can. Poetry is a good outlet for anger I find.

Did you fall with a bike, Euphonius?Quote:

Afraid so, Mikko. Entirely self-inflicted. Broke both of my cardinal rules: No riding at night, and no riding at night especially if the weather is bad. Was following Slabo and his girlfriend across Kunming to their favorite mushroom restaurant, and was struggling to hold a decent line in chaotic traffic, poor pavement, and general unfamiliarity with the city. Still pretty new to the bike, and to motorcycling in general too. I probably applied a bit of front brake just as I was steering slightly, and she went down very quickly. Snapped my clavicle, and ended what up to then had been a great ride.Quote:

Oh, I am very sorry to hear that. Glad to see anyway you did not want to quit the riding.
It seems tarmac in China is lottery. People fall here and there.
motorcyclists fall. most get up and keep riding. i'm working on it. actually been out quite a few times, though i'm super cautious. another fall on an unhealed shoulder would not be clever.
cheers!
Well I guess taking that kind of damage after falling can make you cautious. You took some heavy damage. But there really is not too much to worry, and it is good to try ride relaxed. A bike requires so much controlling by rider that too cautious riding can make you unable to do things you need to do. If I were you, I would just be carefull to not crash on things and to not bend the bike too much on curves. Keeping good attention on tarmac especially on curves might be good too in case one could learn to spot that evil tarmac in China.
The best thing is that there is nothing wrong in riding your own speed. So take your time and let the speeders go. In theory if you need to ride fast then you are doing something wrong.
