Hey guys,
I noticed yesterday that my back seat is a little loose, like is slides forward and backward, i would say the space of 1/2 inch to max an inch. does yours too? or what could i do to fix that?
also, sorry i do not know the technical terms, my right handle bar is more "in" than my left one, and it feels like that rist is carying more weight than my left one and hurts a bit sometimes. is that possible? is it bad to adjust that?
any adavise helps!
thanks.

MY SEAT WIGGLES AS WELL.....i THINK YOU CAN ADJUST IT BUT I HAVENT TRIED YET. ON THE OTHER QUESTION IM NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN" HANDLE BAR IS IN MORE" IS IT THAT YOUR CLUCTH LEVER IS HIGHER OR LOWER THAN YOUR BRAKE LEVER? IF SO, YOU CAN ADJUST THOSE. IF THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU MEAN THAN HAS YOUR BIKE BEEN DOWN?

sorry for caps

Your back seat slides forward and backward 1/2" to 1"? Mine doesn''t budge. What year is your bike? If my ''07 seat moved that far, I''m pretty sure it would separate from the tail section.

doesnt move that much but does wiggle. I believe you can adjust it...I have not bothered to because I really dont notice it. I have an 06 RR

Okay, so maybe it only slides like 1/2 inch. not 1 full inch. I have a 03.
As for the handle bars, it is actually the bar, not the lever, that is angled inwards a bit more than the left one. I know the previous owner did drop it, i dont know how hard. i only got it a month ago, it is scratched a bit at the end of the bar, so that would make sense why it is in a bit.

alright, well i feel better about half my issues,

as for the handle bar, i will bring it back to the dealer and have them adjust it outwards a bit more so at least my hands will be at the same angle, and wont be putting too much weight on my right hand.

thanks guys!!

Don''t want to burst your bubble, but if the handle bar is bent I don''t think there will be much "adjusting" going on. You may be looking at new bars. Hopefully that is not the case.

no, no bursting the bubble, it doesnt feel bent, just like the angle is at 49% instead of 45% (not real #s) like the other side is, if that makes sense.
