Subject: Ground clearance
Good morning from London.
I have a problem which I cannot find any reference from your database
FAQ.
For the last 10 years or so I have owned sports bikes plus I race a 250
tz Yamaha. I decided this year to try and keep a clean license and so I
hunted around for a bike that wasn't too fast at the top end but still
fun to ride. After trying a few bikes I bought a new 98 @. Great bike.
My problem is the ground clearance. I cannot ride with motorcross boots
anymore as they don't have toe sliders and I have worn out the sides of
the boots. I have reverted to my normal sports boots with toe sliders.
This helps but the pegs are grinding out and the bashplate is also very
scarred. Has anyone come across this and if so how have they managed to
increase the ground clearance, if this is possible. Does anyone make
rearsets or had any made. I know that the @ isn't really made for this
kind of behaviour but I really like the bike but I am worried that one
day the pegs will dig into the road too deep and lift the back end off
the ground. Hey presto, one sorry looking @.
Thanks in advance...
