Its big bones,

And mild cake retention

Forks are coming off...

I'm a 9st girlie and want to take my nearly 20st friend as pillion. Can my K4 handle it and what adjustments would I need to make? Or do I need to make him eat less pies first?!?! =/
Thanks

Wow, way to dig up a 2yr old thread. Go you!

No, you should be fine but just watch out for coners as the weight transfer is going to be much faster to the sides.
Have you taken anyone pillion before?

I took a 9 stone pillion on a 3,000mile trip to Barcelona and back a couple of years ago. That was fine, but I've never carried anyone heavier than that.
What adjustments would I have to make to the suspension and tyres?
Thanks

I rode a R6 back from Liverpool last week, never suffered with the wrist thing until i rode that, Lovely bike, not a very comfortable one to ride though, wrist were killing me when we got back.

thats a total of 185kg = 29 stone...

I'd personally not do it, not unless you have a uprated shockabsorber fitted.

I'm not saying that a standard shock couldn't take the weight... it could but I'd personally would not.
