Cheers The-Maz, AndyZXR for your prompt reply but I px my Ducati Panigale 1199s for this S1000rr and never had a bad back with the Duke. The BM is amazing and the garage said they can't do anything for me. So I'm contemplating to sell it back and go back to what I know. Someone suggested buying some rear sets.

Agree with Sissy, stick with it, you're not tensing up as its a new bike are you? Gilles supply lowered pegs (see Calsport or Performance Parts websites to order)

Ive looked at a comfort seat but it's not the seat it's the position of the pegs and bars and seat.

 

[Sissymc7]

Peg lowering kit on e bay well under 100quid

My bike was uncomfortable until I fitted rear sets it was night and day I have now fitted a comfort seat and now it's even better

Ah I thought it may be down to the pegs, it seems my knees are no where near the stomp grip. I'm about 3 inches below the middle of the stomp grip. Do you find Sissymc7 the S1000rr is a better bike than the Panigale???

 

[Sissymc7]

Loved my pani yes very roomy and spacious but not very good handling at higher speed , s1000 fantastic bike once settled I find pegs to far forward for me 20mm back n 10mm higher but I'm a short Arse

 

[Sasstig]

Lowering kit are you talking about rear sets???

 

[MacRR]

No, lowered pegs on the std hangers look on the websites I mentioned and you'll see them

Have you had a look at this website:

http://cycle-ergo.com

It may be useful to compare both of the bikes and the positioning to perhaps determine where and what is possibly causing the issue. Pegs, bars, seats can all be amended to get to the position you want. Nothing worse than being uncomfortable and in pain on a bike, takes concentration away from the road.

Hope this helps.
