You might be able to modify the seat or suspension. How much too high is it? Are you able to get one foot down flat or both down on tiptoes?

Yep, you either lower the seat (might get you 1 or 2cm max) or the suspension (can get more - how much depends on the bike), or both.

 

Lowering the suspension involves buying some longer dog bones (the bit that joins the rear suspension to the frame) and fitting them. If you're lowering by a couple of cm or so, that's about all you'll need worry about. Any more than that and you might have to lower the forks to drop the front a similar amount, and see that the side and centre stands don't end up too tall for the new height.

 

Lowering the seat involves rebuilding the seat with thinner padding. Fewer complications this way (except saddle soreness). A few people do it themselves, but most send the seat off to a specialist - which is pricier.
