Can anyone help with advice for setting up a bike's riding position for a 5'6" rider? That's 1.68m in new money.

I ride a 2008 125 Rev3, so any shorter adults or schoolboy riders may have helpful advice.

I'm happy with the suspension action as I've softened it up for my 65Kg weight and have taken about 20mm off the width of the bars. I still feel that I am over stretched when riding, in particular, I seem to be strecthing a long way forward to reach the bars.

    Have you tried a couple of spacers under the bars to lift them and 4 longer bolts.

    Rotate the bars back-over so you don't have to reach.
