Hey guys,
I'm not entirely sure where on the seat I should be sitting... I'm not a big guy at 5'9 <70kg and the seat seems well... quite large front to back. I haven't ridden with a pillion on the FZ yet but I can imagine them almost falling off the seat forward and slipping into the crevice behind me.
When I got the bike I sat up front in the most upright position, balls to the tank so to speak. Bike feels pretty good and stable this way, except for my left knee touching the frame.
I've played around shifting my butt backwards on the seat a bit increasing upper body lean towards the bars and moving the knees back a little and can't decide if I like it more. It might prevent the aforementioned hypothetical pillion issue.
Anyone else have similar issues or any advice? To me the seating position on a well designed bike should be obvious, like settling in to a groove, so it's concerning me (perhaps a bit more than it should) that I can't seem to figure it out.
