I would have suggested the new Raptor 250 for someone your size/weight! Anybody can learn a manual clutch in a short time. Bet you would have more fun on the lighter/smaller machine.......

I rode with some Raptor 250's last week, and if one is an early teen or petite woman who wants a full-on sport quad, this is the hot ticket! 50+ pounds less than a Z!

Now, it has been a lot of years since I owned a 300EX, but as I recall it is adjustable for preload, but not compression or rebound damping.

The rear of my 00 400EX is adjustble for both rebound and compression damping. I would suspect that with the suspension upgrades that the front might be as well for 08.
