t also depends o their weight. My wife is slim and I have to check she is still on the back at times as she is a natural pillion. As I'm the size of a small shed ;D it hasn't really mattered in the past if a pillion has leaned in the wrong direction and I haven't noticed that much difference with the breaking on the MT-01. Take them out for a tootle around before going for a blast and you wil soon learn their levels.
