i want to lower it so i can be lower to the ground and flat foot it easier... the bouncy part is just when i bounce up and down on the seat..its fine when i ride but im worried the suspension it too loose if im going fast.. any suggestion
This solely my opinion but I have always felt lowering disrupts the design of the suspension. Suspension is important to keeping traction and you should always try to maximize your traction.

Whether you lower it or not you should still have the sag on the suspension set to your weight. It is worth the $75 or so if you can't DIY with a few friends.

Acara; how do you adjust the sag for my weight?

I have the same problem. I would like to be more flat footed. Hopefully I just have to adjust the sag.

What he said. I wouldnt lower a bike unless I was goin for strip-only use. As for feet touchin, I'd just hang a cheek off one side.. Back in the day when we were into the MX bikes I had a CR250 And I was WAY short. The only way my feet (or FOOT) could touch the ground was to hang off one side lol I'm about 6' now so I dont really have that problem nowadays ;-)

Nice F-II BTW How many miles does she have??

I had the same color scheme as well (and maybe will one day return it to full stock, who knows?) It is definitely, in my opinion, the sharpest factory color scheme, without a doubt.

Check out my on-going thread, for pics of the rearsets installed - you'll get some more input on some of your questions, too.

I'm anxious to see how things go with yours - sucks that it went down; ask me how I know! (or just read the above thread!)
