Seat height

[Niflette]

I just bought my first buell and my feet barly touch the ground. How do i know if the suspension is set-up ok for my weight?

You'll want to set what's known as 'sag'. Adjust your pre-load so that you have ~3/4" to 1" of loaded sag on the front, & ~1" to 11/4" of sag on the rear. The manual also gives a chart pre-load positions for given rider weights.

If this is your first bike, spend some time getting used to being unable to straddle it flat-foot; I promise you'll get used to it after several weeks or months!

If its an S model I have an scg seat I'd be willing to sell. Its the lowest seat available for the lightning models.

My bike is a 2009 9SX and it fits.

Your feet don't need to touch.... unless you are uncomfortable and in danger of dropping it.

You will get accustomed to not reaching completely.
