Corner clearance

Ferg Wrote:Anyone else having a problem with corner clearance? I've jammed the 'pegs into the road on numerous occasions, grinding away at the hero knobs (why are they so long??). It makes me feel like a hero, but do it hard enough and it throws me off-line mid corner. I've also scraped my boots more times than I can remember.

Without the hero knobs would the fairing scrape?

The confidence this bike gives me makes me feel like I can do anything, until I scrape. How can I solve this problem? i try to hang off the bike as much as I can.

This how far u can go without scrapping the pegs BUT not on a public road,trust me...

If you are riding off the seat and still scraping the heros, you will soon be scraping your arse off a tree or fence.
