YSR_Racer_99 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 My forks are dropped in the triple clamp (not VFR) about an inch or so. Tilts the bike forward. Always scooting back. Slick seat. PITA, but just the way it is. Thought about gluing 100-grit sandpaper to the seat. Has the rear of the bike been raised, and/ or the front lowered?

Big Green Valley Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Has the rear of the bike been raised, and/ or the front lowered? Not as far as I know. I was riding up close to the seat when I first started riding, then I started adjusting my riding position looking for my comfort zone. Sitting slightly back is my comfort zone, my back feels aligned and my weight is not on my hands. I think I will invest in the Tech Spec Gripster. Seems like most reasonable alternative.

C-bus Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 It's a natural part of the cruiser to sport -bike transition. You'll find your comfort-spot soon. I also find that wearing the panty-liner WITH WINGS on the outside of my pants helps with grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruelHouse Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Just play around with different riding positions, and find one that's comfortable and effective. I sit pretty far forward, so the tank keeps me from sliding forward. That also helps when cornering, as I can pivot around the tank to shift my weight in and out of corners, and also helps me keep the balls of my feet/toes on the pegs and not my arches.

Strictly Street Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Give the seat a quick wipe down with acetone to get rid of the ArmorAll that the previous owner put on it to look so pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenTwelve Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 My balls are so heavy they act as an anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSparky Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I don't seem to have this problem. I can control where my butt is with my legs. So, when braking, I duress I automatically apply more force to the pegs... ? Plus, my hands act as a shock absorber.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xfz Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I had the same issue with the 1000RR. The problem went away on its own. So, just keep on riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 lots of balls getting squished comments here, this is why women are better. Only time women are better is when they have strong kegel muscles, it allows them to actually maintain a suction on the seat to stay in place. Like a GPS mount, Girl Power Suction.
