thats some leaning!! was it just roundabouts or corners aswell?

I heard that you can sort out the pegs with a bit of carb cleaner

Now is the time to hang off or fall off.

i should have mentioned that i dont do knee down becouse i normally ride in jeans, but i do go through lots of toe sliders

Be careful with peg down, i have fallen off before because it caught on the road and flicked me off.

ZXr's lean forever! Just keep going and next you'll get the exhaust This is me on my ZXR400 that I had a few yaers back, best handling bike I've ever owned and was so much fun for roundabouts and the like... leant forever

You don't have to get your knee down to hang off.

It's often possible to get bits of the bike down not going that fast at all on some bikes when not hanging off, especially with suspension not set up right.

Personally, I'd quite worry about getting my pegs down and not wearing protective trousers, as I'd expect to end up on me arse at some point if I kept doing it.

Ive started doing that on my CBR 600, and i hang off

same problem with my cbr400 exhaust isnt far from hitting the ground although it isnt realy a problem and more me being a cock and no leaning off enough, problem now sorted by changing my riding style.

It will end it tears... the pegs on a pivot so it will swing up, but the moment it's unable to pivot or the exhaust touches down the bike becomes in effect a tricycle. We all know what happens to a tricycle when going round a bend to fast, the rear outer wheel lifts off the deck.... the snag is the inner most 'wheel' on your bike is the peg and they don't offer much grip

[Wave2k]

400s all seem to be the same, the ground clearence is absolute shite, when i done brands i grinded half my peg away.

Rearsets on my CBR4, kill my knees doing long distances but fucking brilliant when it comes to cornering.

My exhaust hits the ground before my pegs....


(One reason I prefer left hander... mmm Cloverleaf )





Definately time to start shifting your weight about a bit. Just start by shifting your arse across the seat, there's no need to stick your leg out for knee down.
