  • Post 600 doesnt like riding 2-up

    I took my gf for a ride today, she is only 115lbs, I am around 220lbs. It make the bike sound like it had a supercharger in every gear, im guessing it was gear whine? I dunno, just felt like it didnt like to ride 2 up. Im getting my sprockets +3 in the back here soon hopefully it helps..

    I have the same bike...wife is 120, I'm 165...no issues. You've still got us by a few lbs, but for what its worth, my bike sounds no different with a passenger.

            Is your clutch slipping?

              Nothing like that here on a post 600 with about the same weight. No mechanic but sounds like a clutch issue maybe?

                      +1 on the chain..with weight on the back the chain generally gets tighter.

                      something has to be wrong cuz im 225 and my girl is about 180 and we ride 2up with no noise

                        My brother complained of the same thing. Loosened his chain, and it took care of it.
