Is it very uncomfortable because of your wife? Does everyone else have the same problems, or are there also positive experiences (just to rule out if the wife is the problem or the bike..)Both of are big people, it is VERY uncomfortable to be on a bike together. She has her own bike, an '82 Suzuki GS850. She says I bought the Super Tenere on purpose so she can't ride it, she likes to be able to put both feet on the ground!
I'm large, but my wife is normal human sized. With the two of us on the bike, we're at max capacity. The bike doesn't care a bit. I crank up the preload, and off we go. Even in the curves/corners the bike handles well with both of us on it.
It makes it slightly uncomfortable for both of us. We can’t ride long days together. So now it’s less km’s a day and more short stops for seightseeing. The bike doesn’t care at all loaded and 2 up.
i moved my givi top box back 2 inches put a touratech comfort seat on for her and german made lower pegs my wifes tall she now loves the comfort of the bike
Thanks Rob! We already got the Touratech seats, see if I can move the topbox, she likes that backrest! She’s just like me 1,85m. Got a link or photo of the pegs?
top box moved 2 " huge difference for space now givi trekker box with the sra plate
bought these rear pegs expensive, but you put the yamaha peg back on with rubber for comfort and for long legs they are brilliant

There just ain't enough room on a motorcycle for the two of us. Plus, I don't like it when she starts beating on my back when I'm wheelieing my '82 Suzuki GS1100 when she's on the back.
