Slight wave in the curve? If so, probably centerstand. (It swings down when there is additional acceleration.)

Yes.

Toes of your boots?
Centerstand?
Pipe?
Sidestand?

Which side was the scraping?

Probably your pipe.

Yah man, back off if you start scraping hard parts. Seriously. You are lucky you didn't lose it if it was your pipe.
Rich, RIP.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

Gutters!?  What are you doin' riding that close to gutters!?

Take the centerstand off.

I ued to think so but I just had to take out the rear blot (the one that holds the can on) and push down and remove the bolt.

Check the footpegs again. They have a rubber flap on them that folds back, then the core scrapes. When the rubber folds back the traces are hidden.

But you shold have felt the pegs scraping.
