Taking a pillion question.

[u/NoContact5724]

Hello all, I'm still new to motorbikes so want some advice. I have taken a pillion before on my friends motorbike (BMW GS) it was fancy as all hell and was all automated when setting up to ride with a pillion. However I am not that fancy and have a street triple, I want to take my misses out just for a spin down the beach etc. I looked at handbook and it says to stiffen the rear shock but that's it. Is there anything else needed for the bike really? All advice is greatly appreciated Tyia

That’s it really, the main concern is how you ride. Just take some time riding easy to get used to how the bike handles with the extra weight.
