Hi stellasue,
Based on the fact that you asked the question and i am guessing a woman, you are likley significantly lighter than the the 6 foot guy you are buying the bike from. Translation: you can and should take some of the spring preload out of that bike. this will drop the effective saddle height for you when you are on the bike. the good thing is the 02 tona has a pretty stiff rear spring, which means you can dial out a lot of preload, and get some drop in the rear ride height. try to keep things even though (or make them even if the last owner didn't by dropping the front preload as well to keep chassis attitude correct.
Long answer short, you will need a spanner and some patience to loosen the two collars that are used for adjusting the spring preload. this is not a five minute job and i would not recommned doing it at the time of purchasing a bike from a private party. suspension adjustments should be done when there is time and patience and a pen and paper handy to record your changes.
