O.K here's my long story :gob: Well I took my work mate to work today Papakura to East Tamiki. first time had a pillian on my bike. the front off the bike wanted to lift off the ground even at easy take offs.
At one set off lights i pulled to much throttle and pulled to decent wheelies.
i weigh about 63kg my work mate about 70kg and my pack rack bag full of gear about 30kg.i use to be a pillian on a bike way back for ages so i know how to be a pillian. taking my mate to work on my old zzr400 i had no issues at taking off. do use reakon my pack bag could be a major factor.i was thinking mayby he is sitting to far back. also thinking mayby the way i am using the throttle.i could feel the front wanting to lift with even easy take offs. also any links in here to pillians would be good. any help appreciated cheers.:rockon:

Just sounds like too much weight over the back. if this is just happening when you had your mate and the rack on the back.

same thing as standing on the back pegs to get the bike to wheelie off.

Its a safety mechanism to stop having two dudes on a bike... no realy try to keep to fuel tank full, it will make some difference also your rear shock might be set incorrectly for two up...

Have some pies when you're on the front.

Your rear shock might be stuffed or badly set up. And the packrack is outside the wheelbase, so that wont help.

The throttle goes both ways. You don't have to use it all at once. If you disrespect it, it will show you pain.

If I wasn't so morally outraged by that I would be laughing my arse off.

You might want to give carrying passengers a miss until you're down with how the throttle works; you should easily be able to ride with a passenger and no wheelies. But having said that, if you go over, you'll land on your passenger, so maybe a good way to practice your wheelies :laugh:

Well, if you owned a GSXR you wouldn't need the ballast on the back to achieve the same result... ;)

I do have one question though - what sort of bloke accepts a lift on the bitch pad?

Also when a 'mate' pillions he/she tends to keep his body positioned as far back as possible and often braces on the grab bar exaggerating the problem. When your g/f, wife, partner etc gets on the back they tend to hug/hold onto you and keep the weight forward.

Yep same thing. First time it happened Im 96kg and don't need any more pies. Mate was about 75Kg and gave me a hell of a fright. Was good fun though!! No pack rack either. Never happened with chick on the back so the sitting back further to avoid looking gay is probably it.
But you have to learn how to control throttle like the other posts have said. It was easy to sdjust riding style to compensate.

Eat some more fatty pies and ditch the bag of old arseholes in your back pack.

Cost me a new helmet and jacket, cause my dick didnt weigh enough to keep the Mrs from being spat off the back Steve ! Or perhaps it was cause there just aint enough blood in the bod to fill two voids ! Of that size
