Exhaust down?

Hi guys,

Yesterday finished my second trackday and my fun was ruined by the pegs going on the tarmac. The Hhhrrraaatch! sound was disconcerting, let alone me being forced to lift the inside leg completely off the peg and not allowing me to sit properly on the bike.
I have the curvy naked model and also one question: Is there a point in fitting higher rear sets without having problems with the exhaust? I know monsters have this problem. Do the "S" rearsets solve the problem completely? I know they are higher and further back but don't know how much.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I had my Viper exhaust down on the road, but that was quite a fat can, touched down just after the pegs. I would get a high level if you're that worried about it, but if you have a stock can then they have a cut out anyway so you should be fine

Get some shorter dog bones, raise the bak by an inch quicken the steering.

I've got a Sccorpion high level can and some Valtermoto rearsets fitted to my curvey no probs with ground clearance would highly recommend The rearsets cost me £130 from HG not to expensive and look good too!!!!

rearsets or jack up plates for the ones on your bike. that will sort it out.

What sort of can do you have??? The stock one might be a bit close, but an aftermarket oval one should be fine. I have an oval can on mine, I did a trackday recently too , I had some swish ‘Giles’ rearsets fitted (jacked up to the highest stetting), I got my toedown and didn’t have the exhaust scrape!! So can conclude enough clearance with an oval can and rearsets.

Where can I find such plates? Do they widen the peg placement anyhow?

Thanks for all your answers guys, I have the stock exhaust (all bike is stock except for the WP springs / emulators combo in the front)

Sort 2 issues out easily. I've got the rear of my naked S jacked up and I've never gotten the pegs down yet. This would also be the cheaper option if you're strapped for cash.
