Can you measure the ground clearance and post it here? Could be that the spring is too stiff and there is not enough preload on the shock to keep the bike elevated. What are your sag measurements? Are the tops of the fork tubes about even with the triple clamp? Seat height is 37.4".

I didn't realize there was that much of a difference. I came across this website which does a comparison of several 250cc bikes.
