Default Sag/Small rider issue.

there does not seem seem to have any sag adjustment on my small bike,
( a CBR125R 09')
Anyway i am a new rider and could be wrong...
i am trying to teach my wife to ride on the 125,
But she is only 5'1 and 118 lbs.
Her toes just barely touch the ground.
any tips or advice?
(saddlebags full of sand? lol )

thanks.

Get her a boots that is one size bigger and stuff it with 2 insole. That's what I do. The Alpinestars boots I have is men's and didn't come in small size like my feet. I wear size 5 in women's, but this one is about 6 in women's. My heel will never touch the ground so I really like the toe extension. lol I do ballerina stance.
