AaronBoi SG pillions on the back seat do u feel uncomfortable after long journeys or get hand numbs? got any best positons or tricks not to feel uncomfortable? example: pillion lean on rider's back or hands on the rider's legs instead of the fuel tank or share seats? i heard that pillions on Kips or RVF are quite uncomfortable due to the hard seats while CBR are comfortable??? how about super four pillions? just wanna get comments on how pillions feel cos riders sometimes don't know. Cheers~! Aaron
D-MaYcRy SG hi there...Well, its very natural for the pillon to be uncomfortable after a long journey as the posture for most sports bike are quite aching... super four is ok but the pillon tends to slide down to the rider seat as the seat is long and in one piece...so the rider might feel a bit umcomfy as the pillon keeps pushing him to the oil tank... there is no best way i think but one good way is to just have interval stops when you are going for touring...In Sg, i think no need lah cos dist. is not very long...take a break and have some streching will be good.. Well thats what i have to say ... Take care dude!
AaronBoi SG thanks for the super four info man.. i didn''t know about the sliping part, well sports bike also have pillions sliding to the front...
Danisdead101times SG ive never been a pillion before,all along im the rider...so cannot give any comments so sorry...
qristeele SG used to pillion on Super 4.. quite comfy.. it's true that pillions will slide down towards rider but i think if the pillion not too heavy, shld not be a prob to the rider.. as for pressing down on tank, i guess it's a natural reaction coz by pressing against the tank, u wld think that u won't be pressing against the rider (causing him discomfort).. BUT it can be extremely tiring.. plus if the rider suddenly breaks, the pressure on the pillion's wrists can be nerve-wrecking (literally). thus my suggestion wld be to juz relax and hold on to the rider. coz if u tense urself up, can get body cramps.. now, u wldn't want that, wld u?
ahkang SG Always pillion on phantom, its quite comfy and stable. On a repsol, i always slide forward and every few minutes got to adjust myself. When take off need to be alert too, if not later drop of from back.
aHGer^83 SG s4 super comfy lor...esp wif box behind.. but i hate to lean on the box one...very uncomfy for me...rather hold on to fuel tank or zhi shen zhi mie actually if u really wanna go for long trips, sportsbikes r not advisable as the pillion kan kor, rider lagi kan kor..best is get tourers, cruisers. if u toking abt long journey (e.g boonlay - pasir ris) its ntng lor...try fron SG to cherating, m'sia or malacca..u will noe the taste...
qristeele SG u said it, gal! tourers are the best. i love mine to bits. *smiles* that said, the terrain in sg and other countries like m'sia and thailand are definitely different.
