Free Mod- Increase Ground clearance

i use second gear with plenty of rev's on to keep the engine smooth as you go around. keep up a decent speed if you can and my problem until i cracked it was altho i was hanging off i wasnt hanging off far enuf when it first touched down it felt silly i was hanging off so far

and did you feel less ridiculous as you got used to it? I feel like i need a seatbelt the amount I was hanging off! I was doing the old 'kiss the mirror' thing today, and felt close sometimes but really needed a long long corner to get it right. Could do with some sliders too!

You're trying to get your knee-down WITHOUT sliders!?!?!

Well, only wanting a light graze. I've got that protective velcro on instead

Have you got a naked or S version. The naked's, I believe have lower pegs than the S.

At 6' 2" you should be able to get your knee down in a straight line, unless you're a mis-shapen oompa-loompa with stumpy legs.

K6 SV650S. I think that's proof the D220s are more than sufficient! However I've just ordered a set of pilot road 2s for £169!

i never managed knee down on the standard plastic tyres but on the sv1000 ive got the standard pilot road fitted and you can feel the difference, i got on cuz's sv650 with pilot's on and got the knee down on the first island.

it still feels silly now if your going too slow but the longer the bend and the faster you are going the more right it feels.
