STIFFEN YOUR SUSPENSION

and learn to bring it down more softly

ya

ya i usually bring it down pretty softly but its just those sketchy wheelies that i do every once in a while that tend to scrape...ya i planned on getting my suspension adjusted so hopefully that will work.

Dayam!!

You must really be slammin them down to bottom out the bike so hard that the exhaust hits!

Ease her down.

 

[jkrstich]

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

 

[Hood49]

Hi have not lifted my R1 yet. Do you need the clutch in second and thrid or does it lift like that?

 

[motopsyko32]

2nd no third depends

 

[Corny]

WTF? Scraping header?

The real question is, how much do you weigh? Stiffening the suspension is the answer but will require more work then turning a few screws

 

[echo7]

dude you gotta be at least 300 lbs, I never scrapped headers and I weight 230 lbs

ya

i have a slip on but not a full system so i dont think that is it and i only weigh 150. i have no idea why it hits it has only happen like 5 times and i have done like 300 wheelies on my bike. its kinda cool b/c when i do it at night it sends sparks out..haha but ya i always do stand up 2nd , 3rds, and 4ths i never clutch up just bouce the suspension.
