How to lower motorcycle height for short feamle rider

[wakazali1]

I wanted to know if there is any way to lower the height of a regular 70CC bike for a female.
My sister just learnt how to ride a motorcycle for college going purpose but due to her height she is unable to put both feet in the ground and weight of the bike make her hesitant and nervous in crowdy situations.
I read many websites but didn't understand any as they were targeted for much bigger bikes, ofcourse not for Pakistani bikes and not in our desi hardware terminologies.
Kindly, if anyone knows, explain it here how I can **simply lower the motorcycle height without compromising safety and much ground clearance **
Most importantly, I urge, please abstain from vulgar jokes and unethical comments.
Thank you all in anticipation.

very genuine concern
why dont you get her a power scooty ? if new is unaffordable
i saw used ones for sale to

plus kick start is tough for a girl or putting them on stand
scooter is light weight self start

get a small wheel scooty. You cannot lower a CD70, however you can buy a small wheel off road version of a cd70, which is meant for kids, usually sold with 49cc engine in Pakistan. its the same 4spd gearbox as cd70 though.

scooty would be better, but its limited for speed.

btw - if your sister is so short that she cannot reach the ground safely with her feet when perched on the bike, its a really bad idea to let her ride.

old vespa is a very affordable option, but you will have to overhaul it first

Funny how people are suggesting you to buy a new motorcycle!

You don't throw a brand new suit if its button is broken. You just replace the darn button! Or at least that's what common sense suggests.

Anyhow, here are my few suggestions:
1. Shave some foam from the seat.
2. Cut the suspension spring.
3. Cut and lower the length of the "rod" below the suspension (Don't know what it's actually called!) then just weld it together. Not recommended!
4. Wear shoes with thick sole.

Use option no. 1 with no. 4 together and I'm sure it'll work. If not, then just cut the springs, simple!

Disassemble the two shocks, take out the suspension springs, cut one or two windings of the suspension with a hacksaw, do the same with the other one, put it all together and voila! Or just take the bike to a 'suspension ustad'. I'm sure he'll know what to do.

Hope it helps.

you don't know what are you saying.
cut the spring then tyre will start hitting the mudguard.

A few inches won't be a problem, I'm sure! If you look at the gap between the rear tire and mudguard, you'll see quite a bit of space.

Also, my ancient YB100's suspension is totally shot (Can't find replacements anywhere) and yet the ride quality is still tolerable. The rear bottoms out only when I'm riding over those stupid speed breakers.

Men women are equal in todays modern world. Y u are portraying females weaker than males. Mysogynist comment

[Hassan1991]

He is right. stop criticizing.

it will hit. this thread is to help him, keep it that way.

Replace front/rear rim with 16" and it wont going to impact on suspension and overall, but finding 16 rim/tyre would be a little difficult.

Mysogynist comment

Men are physically tougher than women in most cases. It's basic biology. But of course, there are exceptions.

Let's agree to disagree, shall we?

finding 16 rim/tyre would be a little difficult.

Yes, it's going to be difficult... If not downright impossible.

Say tht in front of feminists

Say tht in front of feminists

What's the worst could happen, I wonder? I mean, feminists aren't supposed to act like a tribal militia, are they?!

[Hassan1991]

are you feminist?
@k-four-nine militia lol

[shaikh229]

I m not. My comment was based on sarcasm. Its obvious tht women are weaker than men but so called feminists will label this as a mysogynist comment. They want to have a share in even the dhabas of pakhtoons.

You should see the cases where trans women are competing in sports against other cis women.

In combat sport, their have been serious injuries, but the fem movement are mum on it.

Anyway, kickstarting a cd70 is easy for anyone and most bikes have decompression valves to help if its a tighter and bigger engine.

The small wheel cd70 clone I mentioned has 15 inch wheels or maybe smaller, its for little kids and would suit.
