Yesterday's articleAs I mentioned in the previous article, the tightness in my lower body has been bothering me on long tours since my Ninja 400 days.
Once I go out touring, the average riding time per day is about 7~8 hours (or maybe more ......). The last hour or so, I want to stretch my legs a little bit, so I take my legs off the step and bend and stretch them on the highway.
If this is a touring trip of about 1,000km in two days with overnight stay, from the latter half of the second day"take a break to stretch your legs"there are many.
I look at Iminashi's Ninja 1000 and think again.
The problem is the distance between the seat and the step...... When I started riding a big bike, I realized that the distance between the seat and the step was a problem. When I was thinking about it.What I didn't like about the Ninja 400I've been writing about this for a while as .....
So this time, when I was taking a break, I compared Coco with .......
The NInja 650's seat height is 805mm and the Ninja 1000's is 815mm, which is only a 1cm difference on the spec sheet, but it's already more than 5cm different by eye!Feel ....... I wonder if the NInja 1000 has a lower step height?
Furthermore, the width of the four-cylinder engine seems to make it easier on the lower half of the body. Speaking of which...I went on a 2-day/700km touring trip on a rented Ninja 1000.At the time, I remember no damage to the lower half of my body.
Well, I guess the height of the intended riders is different in the first place: .......
If someone is low down, that means they can be high up, right?
I'm not sure, but just a couple of centimeters difference in the distance between the seat and the step will make the lower body much more comfortable. I don't think that such a small change would upset the balance of a bike that is made to be easy to ride for everyone.
So, I checked the price of the seat on the usual Kawasaki Genuine Parts Search site: ........
Oh, that's cheap.
If this is the case, you can buy a suitable rubber foam and fill it with sheets and try it yourself.
They could do it at a furniture store or something that reupholsters sofas: .......
Hmmm, maybe I'll try it out soon: ........
[postscript]Wrong model number for ↑.....orz
I ended up ordering a genuine one from Webike! ..... This is the one I received.
The skin of the seat.
That's why I bought a used seat on Yahoo! I'll just use it as a replacement for the upholstery.......orz
