First peg scrape

[toymachine]

Well after many a toe scraping since getting new tyres and getting the bearing in the steering replaced, had a peg scrape today without actually trying to.

That was awesome

Could you pick the bike up by yourself or did you need help?




Just kidding.

Peg scrape? Did the washing all off the back?

Seriously mate, the scraping of the pegs is one of life's joys.

I used to scrape my pegs all the time, then I lost the file!
Seriously though, great effort, it is a real milestone doing that....next milestone will be getting your knee down

dont forget the indicator and pinky scrapping you did that time at huntly!!!



Good stuff mate, its really awesome when knee, toe and peg are all touching down, and kind of worrying at the same time!!!

What do you mean by unintentional? Meaning you werent trying to scrap it, or you werent cornering as hard as you though you were?

May I suggest increasing the preload on your rear shock if it isn't already cranked all the way up.

When I first got my gsf400, I scraped the exhaust header going round a corner. It touched down before the pegs did. Since I replaced the shock and increased the ride height, I haven't had any problems with things scraping (except when I've fallen off...).

I was just cornering at what I felt was appropriate and comfortable and next thing I know it scrapes... tyres work wonders for giving you confidence in the bike eh.
