Seat Slipping Forward
« on: June 26, 2011, 09:24:48 AM »
I feel as if I am constantly slipping towards the tank as if the seat is lower up front than in the rear. What modifications can be done to correct this?

Buy a Corbin! The OEM seat is a total piece of junk!

+1000! Although the stocker is bad... it isn't as bad as the stock seat on some other models out there! The Corbin is a real delight, pricey, but worth it!

Your problem is rolling off the throttle way too much. That is why you push to the front too much.  ;D
