Of course you're dragging your feet...look at your foot position!! The peg is in the middle or actually more towards your heel. Slide your feet back more! Peg should be under the ball of your foot on the inside. The way you have it can be helpful on the outside foot to help you brace yourself better (although not with those shoes you have on that have basically no heel). Here's some videos. Yeah I know it's MotoGP, but the fundamentals are the same for any sport bike.

Size 15?? Holy ****!!! :surprise:

Lol yeah, hard not to drag with that size foot.

I always ride with my toes on the peg, way back in the day on the 2 strokes in the mid 90's I mentioned it to other racers, I keep dragging the edge of my boot I am over so far....bragging more or less.......and they said where are your feet?? :grin:

I also like how Honda lately is rounding up...they call a 471cc a 500 and the 300 is a 286cc. Cheating me out of displacement

Where as the CBR 900RR was a 919 before it became a 929

Yamaha R3 is a 320cc......seems I get more CC and HP for my money :smile_big:

Pardon im size 14 and my father is size 15, whats worse im not that tall, im 6ft so its a little annoying but the penis bragging is good even though I know first hand that it isnt true haha. Im just not a fan of the r3, The tank just feels annoying when going around turns and the gears are super short. I still think the perfect day to day bike is a modified super light mt07. I am also going for a test ride this saturday of a 80hp vulcan s 2017 which is selling for a bargain so if I like it I might have a little less room in thr garage Idk what it is but lately I just been liking cruisers because they're just so comfortable but for mountain riding I 100% would choose the 400 over any bike....well maybe not over that new panigale v4s.

Peter brock aka king of the mountain is where we and everyone else goes for a fun ride, perth is flat but this place is actually fairly high, enough to pop your ears as you're getting there anyway

Here is a photo I took of my mate last time we went for a ride on the hills

[sbk1198]

Yeah, agreed.
NZ for sure.

Australia as well.
But the Kiwi's do not like being referred to as Aussies, or even anything to do with Aussies....at least back in the mid and late 90's that is.

To ramble and go off topic, I had a friend, Mark from NZ, him and his wife lived over here in the states for years, about 20-24 years ago I used to ride dirtbikes with him, he used to clear doubles and triples on a dirtbike with flip flops on, warming up, lol
He could ride, his whole family was into racing, including his sister who drag raced...he said pretty much everyone on the island does some kind of racing or extreme sports.

Had long hair, looked like Mark Slaughter from the band Slaughter, last I heard he moved back to NZ and at least in his 50's or 60's, but I used to always bust his chops and call him an Aussie and he would get so mad and make comments about Aussies.

I've had a similar reaction travelling when I've accidentally called Canadians Americans ha ha. :devil:

Nah the Aussies are our brothers really, we just like to beat them at sport any chance we get and vice versa.
Also it would be pretty rude if we knocked the Aussies as just about every Kiwi family has at least one member living and working over there. My brother has been there nearly 30 years and calls it home now. I spent 18 months when I finished my apprenticeship travelling around Oz on a GPz900 and working when I ran out of money, which was pretty regular.
There's a lot of cool stuff there to see but it's just a long way between them!
To use a really bad analogy Australia is geographically more like the US and NZ is more like England except we have proper mountains.

I've always heard that just about everything tries to kill you in australia (nature-wise). Is the same true in NZ?

I got bitten by a red back just a few days ago since it crawled into my gloves lol but thats bs, there is alot of dangerous animals but they dont bother you one bit. Also what do you guys think about my Rossi thread I just created ?

Every creature in NZ is completely harmless. :angel:

... there is alot of dangerous animals but they dont bother you one bit.

:idisagree: Say what?? What about all those great white shark attacks and crocodiles and poisonous snakes and box jelly fish and the funnel web spider AND you guys even have terrorists there now Lol.

 

[sbk1198]

Alright....well then....NZ it is!! Australia only if I can get to Phillip Island for a GP race lol

M y 400- only just makes 100 mph that's on a good day, one of the dealers mechanics took one round the track
and thru lights just on 101mph,
no way does any stock ninja 400 make 50bhp .
it would want **** of a lot of serious tuning to get any where near that,
it won't be done by eco flashing

Your right there, my tuner took a look at the print outs after we did some dyno runs and he said he didnt think there would be any big gains to be made. We didnt make any in the end but that's another story.

100MPH does seem a bit slow for one of these bikes. My bike has the same ECU as yours (there's about five different variants) and Ive had 120mph out of mine on the speedo reading.
