increase preload on rear suspension, is the common advice. My usual pillion doesn't weigh much tho, so I don't bother. Don't be tempted to play with tyre pressures.

I take a variety of pillions on the back of mine without having to adjust anything. I would take whoever it is you are planning on taking a couple of times before thinking of fiddling.
Just tell them to put their hands on the grab rail and not around your waist. Even if they are nervous. It will make you both so much more comfortable and safer. |

I reckon the waist is the safer option at least then you can accelerate properly without worrying abouot them tipping off the back.
Mind you it's usually girls that i take on the back so i may be biased
