I wonder if its height has anything to do with it? And another thing for you FJ-9 owners, what do you think of the seat? I think it should hve been better made with more padding. I can't ride but around 50-60 miles and I have stop and rest my butt, etc. It seems to slope a tiny bit forcing you towards the tank and you wind up with your "draws" all squenched up and sittin on your "taint". LOL!
