    Does anyone know what the seat height on my bike is? Supposedly from my research it is like 31.3. However i sat on my buddys 03 Suzuki SV650s and I could barely tip toe it...it is supposedly 31.6. I can touch everything but the heels on my bike. BTW i am 5'5.

    I found differing stats on the standard seat height of both bikes. Most reported your XJ at about 31 inches, and the SV about 32 inches. There are other factors that easily explain the disparity.
    -- Custom seat or padding.
    -- Width of frame.
    -- Proper tire inflation.
    -- Suspension modification.
    -- Suspension adjustment - likely, on the SV <<My vote.

    According to the service supplement on the XJCD the Seca 650 has a seat height of 30.7 inches. I have no ideal which one out of all these offered is the correct number!
