Running out of lean

[skidMark]

I have a problem...i can hang off my bike like mad and still i'm scraping fairings...and alternator cover while riding.... both at the track and on the road.....and levering off the alternator cover is not good.... means rear goes on an adventure.

i am hanging off as much as i can. Trying to minimalise how much i'm leaning the bike over.

in my signature pic below is a bad example...and the only pic as it was in early laps of the first session....i have scraped my arse on the ground before. so when i am right off....my knee of my outside leg is on the edge of the seat hanging right off...

i have done the whole try kiss ya mirror thing also.

what can i do...

do i need a bigger bike...

is the 250 just not meant for this?

i am 6 foot tall.

around taupo through some of the corners....my knee is down and the inside of my leg is hard against fairing the bike is laying on me. and i am scraping my fairing and alternator cover.... heres a pic after beign on the track....i had just painted the fairing too

this is not some wank wank i'm the man post it's a serious question that i need help with. As i want to get faster. Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't matter . You don't have a licence or a race licence so you wont be riding for ages anyhow.

yeah suspension could do with some work....

but i'm still running outta lean..... is it justy the bikes limits or what because i'm still about 4 seconds off a winning laptime to win streetstock....

i need 1:57's and i'm getting 2 min flats and 2 min 2 second laps....

so it's really not gunna cut it i just can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.

Stop.

Brain on.

You're getting into a corner, the suspension is compressing with the weight of the bike, and the centripetal force due to cornering. This effectively lowers the ride height of the bike, making things scrape.

Fix the suspension so the ride height stays more constant and hey presto, nothing scraping.

With all due respect, if indeed, there is any due & after having seen some of your other posts / wastes of space, I wish to say this & only this:

"YOU APPEAR TO BE THE BLOODY EXPERT ~ YOU FIGURE IT OUT..."

ever thought that 3 seconds may be from you braking to early and getting on the gas too late? just because your "leaning" doesnt mean shit if your braking to early
