Plan further ahead, use the rear brake and only use the front sparingly. She may prefer holding on to the grab rail. She may use the tank to brace against under braking. Avoid aggresive acceleration. Up the rear preload one or two notches. Also your headlights may dazzle oncoming drivers.

Oh, one other thing, tell here to only wriggle to "get comfy" either at a standstill when you have both feet down or when in a straight line at speed. I've had 2 seperate pillions do it when I was making slow, very tight turns on the grounds that, "it felt safer because we were going slowly"

that wasn't a very nice thing to do, drewcarey!
how do i adjust the preload?

bloody hell mate, i hope you banned them after that!

ive never had a pillion

Be smooth and plan ahead, you don't need to ride any slower but it would be a good idea if it is her first time.
