standing on your tank helps the arms out

This site should have a section dedicated to riding form and technique...i think that would make it easier for us newbs to find info and would make it easier on the vets so they don't have to keep on repeating stuff

as far as what was said in the beginning about using your back. Over the winter time, work on situps and strengthening your core muscles as well as lower back. You can find different types of excersises online. It will help you support your weight better.

you know what i find is a key to comfort on my f4i?

making sure my toes/balls of my feet are on the pegs, and sort of standing on my tippytoes on the pegs.

it puts my knees in better position to grab the tank, and helps me find a good tuck position. ugh it's hard to explain...

I know exactly what you're talking about. I just discovered this myself a couple of weeks ago. You put the balls of your feet on the back pegs of the brake/shifter instead of your heel. Doing this takes a little weight off your butt. It has the same affect as having rear sets.
