One of my friends is 5'8" and he has a technique for handling seat height issues.

He shifts his weight on the seat to prepare of stops so he can get most of his foot flat on the ground before coming to a halt.

Nothing to be intimidated by. Just focus on the technique. After a while it will be come natural.

I'm 6'2" so the reach to bars is not a problem for me. It's actually less straining than my Ducati 999.

At 5'9" it will probably be fine for you to a distance, but after a while you will surely feel it in you back.

Just make frequent stops, and take breaks to relax your back.


Make sure that you protect the rear of the tank from the rubbing of your pants or zipper.

One benefit of your height is that your knees will nicely fit the tank side indents.


Cheers
