Pikes Peak Seat And Back Pain? :-(

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by cantcatchme, Apr 18, 2017.

  1. I recently pick up a 2016 Pike's Peak and after riding it around all day, I noticed that the extreme angle of the seat forces my hips forward and I have to hold my back straight. My back is killing me after only one ride. Anyone experience this problem? is there a fix for the seat angle?

  3. Not Sure, always found multistradas very comfy, are there adjustment blocks under the seat? May need local dealer for this one as we can't feel what you are?

  4. Hello & welcome, adjustment for height not angle, assuming it's the same as my 2016 dvt, I don't get any pain, I do ride close to the tank and accept that's where the seat "pushes" me! Sore arse after a few hours but no back pain

    Totally agree, I bought a GranTurismo so the seat cannot be adjusted for height. No back pain but need a break after a few hours.
