Uncomfortable on Pointy - any ideas?

Since I brought my k3 650s just over a month ago I have had really bad pains in my hands and my bum, the other half gets a sore bum really quickly while on the bike too, is there a good way to get around these pains? I have heard of gel seats for rider but can you buy them for pilion? Any good ways to get rid of the pains in my hands are also very welcome. Idealy the cheaper the better as money is tight at the moment but it needs to work.

Thanks in advance for the advice

sound like your riding position on the bike.

what position do you ride in?

Have you tried stomp grips they help you grip the tank better with your knees which sld stop you moving forward as much which will help the pressure on your wrists, well i found that anyway and look on fleabay for gel seats

tony archer custom seats, cheap and exellent workmanship
pain in your hands could be down to not riding enough, hard suspension settings, carp gloves or ride position (sv comfort kit to fix) or just gripping with your knees more

You have what a lot of people have / have had as well.
There are various things to try, subject comes up every couple of weeks on here.

i suffer the same in my wrists and hands plus pins and needles in my hands, it has got better the more i have ridden the bike, but to be honest in the 12 mths i have had the bike i hav'nt clocked up too many miles .
I have thought about fitting some bar risers but not sure if this would help? Any thoughts anyone?
I'am also trying to make sure that i'am not holding the bars too tight (death grip) which i think was my biggest problem at 1st.

SpeedyClaire had the same problems and so had a comfort kit fitted, made life a whole lot easier - for her - , don't know if that'd be much help?

Make sure you check that your gloves are not too tight and the cuffs on your jacket arent either, have them farily loose, as this can cut off blood supply to your hands.
I used to do the same, riding with forearms slightly bent helps a lot, with them as close to parrallel witht the road will help, weird at first to rdie that way.

I was getting loads of pain (back, hips, gluts) when I first started riding the SV, but I think eventually my body just got used to the position and I don't get those so much anymore, unless I have a long gap in between rides. A month isn't too long to get used to it - depends how often you ride too. What did you ride before the SV?

Wrists and hands used to hurt from pulling the clutch and brake levers in too, but adjusting the levers downwards helped (so my wrists were no longer cocked upwards).

The main thing that bothers me now is pain in the hands and feet after a long ride (say 300ish miles per day, two days in a row) from the vibrations!!! Not sure what I can do about that though...
