Easier to go low with second Rider?

[DevonG]

Hey guys I was wondering if you could could give me a little input. I got a 03 Fb9r And I'm definitely finding it easier to go low with a chick on the back, the other day my feet actually touched. But by mysef it's alot harder and I constantly have to re adjust myself. What would you guy recommend, I'm spending my day today playing around with the suspension, I weigh 160 btw.

Thanks
DG

Man, is your chick 150+lbs? If so, you just lowered your bike about 1.5inches, which obviously easier touch down!

In order to increase lean angle, you must have speed! To have speed, you must look further down the road! To be ready down the road, you must continue to press the handle into the direction you are going. This is just the basic to get started - may the force be wid u!

Use the guide in the manual for your suspension.
Get on the balls of your feet when cornering.
The bike drops in faster with two and like previously said your lower.

DG, man if you like to do it all the time, get a chick that is about 200+, you are GOLDEN!

like mentioned, If you ride with your balls of your feet on the pegs and not ride with the peg in the arch you should never touch your boots to the road! Dragging feet can be dangerous!

Like ^they^ said, if you're carving solo - balls of feet on pegs, inside butt cheek offset halfway, "kiss" the mirror (a Keith Code method), and above all: Don't rush it, take it slow, practice, practice, practice - it will come in time and be more natural that way.

Lol yea my tire were really low when I did that, the girl is only 140 guys cmon lol. Alright these things are difficult to ride at first, I've come a long way trust me, but there was definitely something wrong with the rear I lowered the compression alot and a little rebound and it's alot nicer now.

I don't like the manual at all for setup. It takes a lot of tweaking and my setup today is for someone who weighs like 30 to 40 pounds more than me but it's finally getting there. And while I like how the rear end feels when my girl is on the back I hate the longer breaking zone. Always have to think way ahead and she only weighs 115.

I'm guessing when you say "go low" you mean lean in a turn. I scuff my knee pucks with to passenger but would never try that with a person on the back. My suspension is fairly well sorted out for my weight.
