Am I doing something wrong? I bought a F4 a few months ago and every time I ride my sack is getting pulverized. Am I not sitting right on this thing or what? Someone told me to try and find some adjustable rear sets for it but they are kinda expensive. Help me out here.

 

I'm a 5'10 rider on an F2. This happened to me when I first got my bike. Correction: new rear set that sits higher and redid my seat with a custom Second Look cover and the upholster that did it added about 2" of cushion. You may want to try that out.

 

beyond customizing the riding position you can correct your riding. First of all when tucking in for higher speeds, sit all the way back. Also try putting the ***** of your feet on the pegs when you're not going to shift or brake. Of course move them up when you're getting ready to shift or use rear brake. Use you front brake for any kind of emergency stopping as you should be already. Also you should try to use your legs to carry more of your body weight, sounds like you may be squeezing the bike w/ your knees and sliding forward. I've heard of this happening when trying to see over a tinted bubble during braking/cornering. Hope that helps

 

Maybe you need to ride a bit smoother.

 

The squeezing with the knees sounds about right because I do have a tendency to slide forward. Thanks for the pointers

 

I've done it a few times, but 1 really sticks out. I was going about 50mph, when I did not realize how deep the bump in the road was. I was in such pain for about a good 10 mins.

 

I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes my boxers get wedged a certain way and my zipper starts to rub on my one eyed monster (thru the boxer slit). Took me a while to figure what the f**ked it was. I've been meaning to get some boxer shorts, f**k sporting butt huggers.

 

tuck with your elbows bent and your toes on the pegs with your knees pressed into the tank. This will keep you from bouncing into the tank.

 

LOL!!! funny Honda does have some pointy tanks. They make pads you can buy that stick on the tank it does make it a little less painful.

 

******* reduction?

 

Ryan, you have a bike?

 

i'm 5'9" and only squash nuts when dropping wheelies too fast...trying sitting back a little..put the front of your foot on the peg...that should bring you back enough to prevent the squashig

 

The tank wasn't the problem, it was just bumps in the road. I've tried keeping myself back more and that seems to be working ok.

 

take before and after pics and post them up

 

For some reason this doesn't seem like a good idea
