Hi

Your bike is not too big neither are you too small. Ride your bike with confidence, stay centered as you ride, and get a little coaching. Enjoy the sport.

On saying that you may want to fit lighter springs to the bike - you should get 1/3 sag at both ends when stood on the bike.

You may be able to drop front and rear tyre air pressure a bit.

Move the bars around until you feel comfortable and the bike turns full lock on sand accurately (not pushing on tucking under)

One shorter mate of mine removed the seat on his old bike so that he could move about.

If you do struggle with this bike and are getting annoyed don't throw the sport away - try one of the low seat more modern bikes
