    Stretch your legs, I always do before going on the bike. Mainly as I have issues with my hips after a few ops. And waiting for a full hip replacement on my left hip

    I have had the bike 4 years and should have looked at adjustable pegs so they will be a bit lower. this may help you as well.

    Get some adjustable rear sets and play with the heights until you feel more comfy

    I had some Harris adjustable rear sets fitted a couple of weeks ago, and they have made a big difference to me.

    I'm 6'2 and found the bike a little bit cramped, now I can, and do, ride it for hours, with no issues.

    I was talking to a guy on Sunday at Chesterfield motorcycles, who had a castrol blade, he said the same thing, can ride for ages with rear sets.

    Hi a little word of caution regarding rear sets as they are designed to generally raise the height and move the pegs backwards for racing. Yes they adjustable but adjustment usually starts at point higher than standard pegs. Another way round the problem is to raise the seat height with extra padding which will make it feel less cramped.
