Seats uncomfy as hell and its doing my head in - Page 5 - SV650.org

Wadda et all,

I think I may have mentioned this before somehwere?

Anyway, the other week, I tried doing a few trips back n forth to work with just my Jeans on, instead of my usual leathers.
Boy did my ass hurt

So, the leathers went back on after 2 days of pain.

The bit that I may have mentioned before, is trying this.

If you're on a bit of a long journey, try and rest your feet/legs on the back footrests. It is possible to do, I know it's not recommended, but you will instantly take the pressure off your feet, your **** and your legs, plus you'll also get your head down behind the screen out of the wind.

As I said it's possible to do it, I've even gotten into the knack of catching the footrests with my boots if they are in the up position, to knock em down to put my feet on.
If you've got the original can on, yep, your foot/leg will get rather on the hot side, as your right leg and foot will be resting on the can. If you've got an after stock like me, you'll be sweet, it'll be comfy enough to rest your leg on.

Give that a try?

Works for me mate

But I know exactly where you're coming from.
It was Nagai who suggested it to me originally and I did the same as you when even thinking about it

But the amount of miles I do in a week, I had to give it a try. I must also admit, my back is getting worse from riding the bike.

I found the SV to be painful over 50 miles at first and now it isn't.

Can ride it until the fuel light flashes and then give myself 10 minutes to recover.

I am a bit surprised how uncomfy the SV is.

Got a Gel Seat for mine. My ass was in pain if I needed to ride for 130 miles non stop. Now feel very comfortable. I bought my Geal Seat from Ebay, american shop. Got it delivered to Uk, cost me £100 in total. Best mode I have done to my bike yet.

AR05 was a bit of trial for my buns, so at one point (at about the horse incident) I was sitting on the pillion seat!
