You'll be fine
I'm five three and manage a Ninja 250 and a CBR600 with no lowering whatsoever. Just spend more time on the bike and you'll get the confidence to be on your toes. Realize that you don't have to have both feet flat on the ground. Your left foot is going to be on the shifter at stops for the most part, so lean to your right and get your right foot down for steadiness.
