Morning Org,
I have had my new SV for 2 months or so now, the issue is when the other half is on the back I get terrible wrist ache (Right Wrist) I also find myself bracing the bars with my palms when breaking, this also causes pain. These issues are not found when riding solo, is there anything I can do, change, stop doing etc to make it better? we have a 600 mile ride at the end on June and im dreading it to be honest. |

Get some sort of grab rail for the pillion
Alternatively brake hard, then accelerate hard. Wait for the thud. Continue and ring A+E at the end of the ride ![]()

The pillion is leaning on you.
Get the pillion to sit on their seat, maybe get an anti slip mat for her ****. Then get one of them belts with handles on, and get her to hold onto that, and lean back away from you. |

To be fair, she does pile into me when under heavy braking.
And after re-reading my original post it seems clear that she is causing the problems. Thanks people |

+1. Anti slip pillion covers, search for triboseat. Oxford do the love handles. I use both for the wife and she swears by them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

something else to consider is how you are sitting. keep your elbows bent al all times as doing so relives the pressure on your wrists. the more you sit up the more your arms straighten out and the more weight you transfer onto your wrists.

Cheers for the link dkid!
Bibio - I think you have a point there as when I notice the ache setting in, the first thing I do is bend my elbows, I dont know why I change my riding position when she gets on though, its subconscious as I say because it doesnt hurt when solo |

Change your rear shock preload so that the bike handling is not affected by it squatting down so hard, get her to sit upright with out slumping onto you and change your riding style so that you do not have to brake so hard. Your other option, get her a bike of her own.
