Should I/Shouldn't I?????

nice pic...


yea, adjust your levers to make your wrists comfier. Poorly adjusted levers could lead to wrist angles that cause some injury too (tendonitis?)

cant do much for the seat.....choose twisty B roads and move around more?

Yeah, Never thought of that with the levers, I'll give it a go!!

Just enquiring about a Corbin seat??!!! See how much it will be....still MIGHT change my bike though....

Its just a matter of giving your body more time to adjust to riding position, the more you ride it the more comfy it'll get as your body adapts.

the tip with adjusting the levers is a good one, made my GSXR-750 more comfy.

thought about bandit 1200 the top of the range one?? I cant remember what the specific name is lol

Yeah, the 1250 "StreetFighter"? It's OK, Not sure about the Rear seat pod thing!!

Its a bit of a hulk when compared to the SV650 so when you compare with your GSXR it will feel a million miles worse.

Get some ear plugs, most of the exhaust noise is behind you so it is mainly wind noise that is an issue. I can't here my exhaust over the induction noise on the 750 and thats with a straight through can with no perforated inner tube and baffle/wadding!

Some rear sets might help too if you legs get a little stiff or uncomfortable, may some Gilles high clip ons could help if you get wrist ache but I would advise pivoting the levers down first and give that a go. For ar*e ache a gel seat is the only option, whether manufactured or home made.

Thanks for the advice people!!

I have angled the Levers down a bit tonight, so as long as it aint weeing down with rain tomorrow, I'll give it a try....Definitely going down the Ear-plug route, And Investigating/waiting for a reply from a company who sell Corbin seats....heard they are good!?!?
