I have a 2018 CRF250r and I’m not really happy Witt the reliability. I’m 5’4” is a 2019 yz250f going to be way to tall for me?

Meh, you'll be fine. If it seems too tall have the shock and forks shortened with spacers, lower the subframe, get softer seat foam, etc. I'm 5'6", my son is 5"5", and one of the guys we rode with last weekend is at best 5'3". We were all riding full sized, normal height bikes. For those of you wondering, no, it wasn't a short guy convention, one of the other riders there is 6'5". Tongue

Keep the Honda and ride that bitch, I’m only 5’5” had 15,17 yz250f and hated how tall they were I even had the subframe modification Jgrmx did for me to lower the ass end and still hated how the bikes turned, bought 14 crf250 and built it into big bore bike with all kinds of goodies and loved it but then went with 17 fc350 after getting it dialed in I am super happy. For me personally I hated the yz justa my 2cents

Look for a Service Honda CRF150 big wheel with a 250 engine in it.

If I could get one of those...I would be super happy, I rode a friends kids CRF150R big wheel and really loved it, needed more power and stiffer suspension but I felt like I could do no wrong on it! Of course i am old and am not jumping anything big. I had a blast on the turn track laying it over and wringing it out.

My daughter is 5'3" and has no problem riding her 2019 YZ250F. I was worried when we first got it, but its been absolutely no problem at all.

Wrong answer, dude. The correct response for this situation is: "Ask my girlfriend." Cool Laughing


5'4" is fine.

If you're afraid you are to short to be riding a dirtbike than you probably have no business riding a dirtbike.

Thanks for sharing. New on here. My 15 year old daughter 5’3” will soon be coming off her big wheel tc105. I told her just be more aware of where she might stop and electric start will be great with restarting if she hits the dirt. She is new rider learning track and trail.

You'll be fine. RC is only 3'7" and he rode good for a few years.
