    Maybe it's because I mechanically lowered my bike 1" but I always scrape the kick stand foot when making hard left turns. Or maybe it's just because the road is graded the wrong way. Yeah, that's it, It's all those damn highway workers fault!

    When did this happen?

    Yes, they do a great job since more than 20,000 kilometers. I Love them. They are a bit pricey but compared to their endurance are worth it.

    I would imagine if you were to come off the bike, it would have much less of a lean angle and you wouldn't scrape so much. I find it more fun letting the bike do the work though.

    Check your dampner positions

    In a lefty, hit a bumb and srapped pretty good. I dialed up my adjuster and that particular corner was clear the last time. It raises the back just enough. But if you push it you will scape pegs. This bike is very capable . I love my WAR MACHINE.
