hi i was going on my normal saterday time to chill out after a week of work and i was going around a round about lent my bike down and herd a huge scrape and i was like nooooooo my fairing so when i got her home i had alook around and my fairing didnt have a mark on it so what the hell did i scrape thank you
Slight wave in the curve? If so, probably centerstand. (It swings down when there is additional acceleration.)
no man it was this really long scrape it wouldnt of swang down for that long it was for like 1/4 the turn
Check the bottom of your footpegs
-Anti 8)
...now your scaring me i did they are fine.. has any 1 ever lent a bike down with 110 130 tyres
Yes.
Toes of your boots?
Centerstand?
Pipe?
Sidestand?
Which side was the scraping?
right hand side (side with throdle)
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.
lost what control or my pipe
i checked the pipe not a mark on it

nope it is fine my centerstand has some marks up it but i thought that was just from gutters
should i take that rubber thing off that hold the centerstand down or should i trim it down abit or what
Who needs a centerstand? Ask Tad he doesnt :thumb: :laugh: :laugh:
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.
no i have a steep gutter in front of the house lol and it catchs on that but i have worked out to go up it on an angle so all good now
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.

Yes but judging by your height you could scrape your knees in a straight line :laugh: :thumb: :cheers:
dang i didnt think the stock tires were capable of holdin tha road that far over :2guns:
yes they can, but not cold. i must stress this. the rim and tire need to be at least 120-130* to get them sticky (about a good half hour or twistys, slowy getting over more and more.
hell you can drag pegs all day, but the front will not last. i will get some final shot of my front this week, i have more center tread than side tread. i may keep it and hang it up on my wall at home.
yea i am about 6 foot 2 if i stand up right, and weight 235 so... big factors
this winter i am adding a gix 750 to the line up of bikes

See that helps you alot ranger. You got alot of mass to plant that bike an that corner. Weight does help a bit. :thumb:
I'm 180. The mass isn't the issue. It's whether or not you want to lean and risk the possible consequences.
On 110 front and 130 rear I use that little space CBR riders leave between themselves and the guardrail as the "GS500 lane"

120lbs soaking wet, so +1 to CirclesCenter...you can get the stock tires over pretty far.
I am just guessing but if no parts are scratched have you checked the chain tension. Maybe it too tight.
