[QUOTE="Bryce R, post: 43777, member: 345"] I wouldn't recommend the 230. I may just be me but I was not impressed with the suspension, or power, and they are heavy. Heck you may as well get the 250 and lower it if your going to go to a 230. But I'm afraid his height is still going to be an issue on the lowered 250. I know you have a 150 already and were looking at going to the bigger tires, that would also mean different gearing, swing arms, (Not sure about brake hoses) but seems like a lot to change for little gain. Almost be better off in my mind selling the bike then buying a big wheel. I have been talking to a few people that have them that are over the 125 mark and they say the run very well. So I guess its up to the rider. I was looking and the weight to horse power ratio is pretty good on that bike. Could you maybe pump it up a little for him when you go to the big wheel? Let him grow a little more then maybe jump him to a 250? [/QUOTE]
