First thing I tell any passenger. Don’t help me, don’t counter lean, don’t make sudden weight shifts when we’re going slow. If you adjust your weight back there when we’re going slow, you’ll cause us to veer and possibly crash.

Great advice and lovely control. Back when I rode often in the 1980's and 90's our bike seats were generally a lot flatter front to rear, not stepped up as much at the rear like they are nowadays and I think this makes the job of the pillion rider more difficult today than back then. What I used to tell them was to squish up fairly close, my back needs to feel their tummy being pushed into me and those little pebbles, but with their hips tilted down so that the bum tilted slightly up to the rear - just stuck back up a bit. Next was to preferably ignore the grabrail (that's for strapping luggage down). Rather, they should put their arms around me under mine and gently clasp hands down and to the front of me or better still, rest them lightly on the rear of the tank. Then, to relax and be loose, the more they're like a sack of potatoes the better, yet be aware of where they're going to, in other words look over the driver/rider's shoulder to the inside of the bend, not to the outside of it. People who followed that last where-to-look advice were great passengers and became naturals. Your first passenger in the clip was doing exactly that kind of looking. My best such pillion could handle a peg scrape to the left and de-skinning the 4 into 1 exhaust on the right.

My brother almost got in an accident with a bad passenger. As soon as they hit the highway she panicked. I guess screaming loudly and squeezing him ridiculously hard. He went to take the nearest exit and she leaned the opposite way of the bike and held onto him so tight it was not letting him steer the bike well. Almost went wide into the guardrail but lucky was able to hold it together. He's never taken a passenger again lol.

The biggest issue is 'countersteering', or when the passenger leans towards the opposite side in a turn, just as a natural impulse. Also, I have a little belt thing that can be used to attach the passenger to me. It doesn't actually help with anything, but it makes them feel safer.

The passemger has more control as to where the bike is going. Tell the passenger to stay with you not to lean opposite of you. This is especially important in a turn. I had a gf make the bike go straight in a right hand curve and put us into oncoming traffic. Lucky I have riden a number of years and got us back into the correct lane.

Generally good advice, but telling a newbie passenger, "don't move" is going to put fear in them and reduce their enjoyment. Better to explain to them that less movement is better, but they can't do anything that you/I can't manage. If you can't deal with their movement, you need to be better.

If the wife/girlfriend/FWB refuses to listen to what you say, DON'T ALLOW HER TO RIDE WITH YOU. I did that mistake, she almost took me to the ground. She would get her weight on one side of the bike, not grab on to me, i had to constantly give her sign to grab me, would jump on the bike without warning, would get up on the seat randomly... And worse of all, when told she did something wrong she would fight back! A stupid passenger is the most dangerous cargo you can carry.

I downloaded your app and used it to keep myself on track with my skills for riding. During riding season, (I live in Utah, so there's an off-season) I went from having 100 miles under my belt (first year) with no ability for slow-speed maneuvering to 8000 miles and being able to get level 2 parking spaces. My issue is that I haven't practiced enough for getting my knee down. And I know, don't focus on one thing. That's just the first goal that comes to mind. I'm upgrading from my cb500x (first bike) to an R6, R1, ZX6R, or ZX10R. Haven't decided yet. I feel confident enough to jump to a 600 or 1000. So, once the season starts, I'm going to ride my cb500x for a little bit and freshen up my skills, then purchase my next bike and see what slow-speed maneuvering I can get down on there. I love my 500, but I'd rather not be limited with power. It's not that I want to sit at 16k rpms all the time, but rather, I want the ability to get myself out of a situation where a car is trying to run me over for lane filtering (that has happened) or anything else that might happen. Also, don't worry, I wear full gear even in hot weather. I'd rather be as safe as I can be, rather than riding squid. Anyways, sorry for the long comment. Just wanted you to know that you've inspired and helped another fellow rider.

I was lucky to have some common sense and basic understanding of physics on my first pillion ride. I had never rode a bike, never rode with someone, or ever thought of riding one. My first time was maybe 3 months ago, I was shooting a marathon and we had the local MC providing transportation around the track. Unfortunately, the rider I was put on with, didn't give me any instructions, just told me to grab tight and go with the flow. That's what I did, facing the rear and shooting with both hands. Kind of extreme, I must say. After that, I grew a thing for bikes and here I am now. Thanks Eddie, for all your videos and for the time you use up making them.

All great advice! but I would like to add a few things, and they are depending non your muffler system or setup, and that being a very hot point that can cause serious burns mainly to the passenger's calf area while getting off and on the bike, I use a Titanium aftermarket muffler which will not cause a serious burn even after hard riding. and on my older model bikes, both the rider and passenger were seated at the same level and this made carrying a passenger fairly easy with them close to the rider's body making hanging on easy and the tank was used by them when the rider was braking if needed, but due to how most motorcycles are manufactured these days the rear passenger seat is set back and way higher so if your pillion does lean or move aggressively it is very noticeable and can have a large effect on the bike ( a large male comes to mind who is drunk).another point is if your passenger is getting thrown backward and forwards constantly and even causing helmets the bump! then it is probably due to your gear shifting, acceleration, and braking not being smooth or poorly synchronized, many riders are unaware of this fact probably due to them having handlebars to hang on to or never being a passenger when a super smooth rider is in control because the difference huge even when the bike is been ridden hard and fast or in heavy traffic! Another point would be to never ride anywhere near your limits like you might do while riding solo! the last point is as a passenger choose very carefully who you get on the back with as it can easily be a matter of life and death as motorcycle riders come in many different degrees of riding ability from the showoff the inexperienced the high-risk taker and the downright dangerous and the highly skilled very safe rider and everything in between, and this should become apparent after a very short time as a passenger so get ask them to please stop so you can get off the bike if need be because you feel the rider is dangerous, etc! as this won't happen if the rider is experienced and takes safety first!

What I usually tell passengers who havent been on a motocycle before is to just sit, try not to move more than you have to, that im never riding fast enough that a shift in weight from a passenger could take control from me anyway, but try not to make any jerky movements. Then i tell them to pretend they have a glass of water on their head. Just because keeping your head level while the bike is leaning over makes it alot less scary feeling, and a comfortable passenger is a world of difference from a scared and stiff one. Assurance is really important Other than that I prepare myself that the passenger will want to look over my shoulder and look around generally (i mean its exciting to them right), and that is probably going to make turning one way or another a bit heavier than usual. Usually I change the suspension settings a bit, not because of handling but because it causes my lights to hit cars straight in the face. Oh and I usually go over the "bear hug" thing where if we need to break you place one hand on the tank so I dont get hit by the full weight of my passenger. Great video though, agree with everything here :D

I set my suspension a little stiff for when I pick up a girl at the bar. I always tell them to keep their feet on the pegs no matter what. I also tell them to keep their shoulders squarely behind mine

I consider a motorcycle to be like a horse; a one person conveyance. If you want to ride two-up, hitch that horse to a buggy and be safe, because you never know what the pillion rider will do in an emergency.

I took a passenger on a bike before I even knew how to ride a bike properly. I was used to having passengers a lot on cycle and scooters so that helped.

One thing I notice is on a big heavy bike carrying weight doesn't have as much affect compared to a smaller lighter bike, on the lighter bike the same weight is more noticeable.

That's really weird, cause when I bring my girl on my grom, it's way easier to control than my xsr709, which is a way bigger bike

Whats really crazy is. When you ride with a passenger almost 100% of the time. Then ride alone. Been so lomg my bike scared me🤣. I forgot how much power she has riding alone.

7 years ago i bought my first bike but i never rode a bike before that and i was too afraid to even try, so for 2 months i did not even touch it and then my wife started forcing me to ride and i learned riding with her riding with me all the time. It was fun :))

Great advice! One of my briefings during a tv shoot with a passenger on a Harley Electra Glide (which I had never ridden before) was also not to breathe 😂
