Yeah, but only when you're stopped...
I would try trimming some of the foam out of the seat b4 I would F*up the geometry.
FWIW, I'm 6'1" in my mind, but shorter than U in real life, & have no problems even with the WR 250, which has a 39" high seat.
Try trimming the foam!!

If you are gonna cut your seat foam down,,,,use an electric carving knife,,,,they work great,,,,then use an electric sander to smooth it out,,,I have done this on many off road seats,,,,comes out great,,,just make sure to have the foam smooth before you reattach the seat cover

Thanks for the suggestion. I am asking about the Metisse lowering kit or any other after market kits to do the trick.

Anyone have a link for this Metisse lowering kit? I cut my seat and am still too short! The Hagon lower rear shock is huge money and special order only.
