I know you track-day guys shouldn't have ANY, but feel free to post if you like.

Never seen a track. My right sideis about 1/2" thick. I low-sided on that side taking my VERY first turn with this bike. It'll be gone soon though.

Left:



Right:

 

you lowsided on your very first turn on the bike? dude, that HAD TO have sucked so hard! it would suck to lowside period, but on your first turn? .....sheeeeet

 

both my sides look like ur right i only have 800 miles on the bike but i guess thats just my excuse :X


to be honest i dont really ever speed so i dont hit turns fast enough where i can even lean the bike enough lol

 

well..

my rear tire WAS worn down completely on both sides.

but after sundays "incident" i got big ol marks on one side LOL

 

Yeah...it hurt my ego soooo bad!! Actually I lied about it at first and told people I dropped it coming off the trailer I picked it up on. After I went down with this bike I was like "Aw man, maybe I shouldn't be riding. What a bad omen. Especially after totalling my last bike and almost killing myself 6 months ago." I posted it up in the forum on another thread and most people reassured me it was no biggie. "Battle scars" is what I remember most people saying...that's what I'm sticking with for now.

I was real leary about taking hard turns to the right for the first 1500 miles or so, but recently I've been getting over pretty good.

TbAg,
You don't really need to be FLYING through corners to lean over hard, just fast enough and at the right angle of attack. Steady throttle, smooth lean and focus your eyes on where you want to go. MAKE SURE NO GRAVEL. MAKE SURE TIRES ARE HEATED!Although, I wouldn't be leaning too hard within the first500 miles of brand new tires. You should be fine by now though...

Heybuddy,
I had that "big ol" thrash/scrub mark on my right side after my low-side...I'm guessing that's what you have? What was Sunday's "incident" by the way?

 

yeah i got that! i scrubbed it off with a rag. LOL

sundays incident involved me taking a turn with cold tires, spriing the rear and lowsiding on the left side at 40mph..

i got away with only $400 in damage or so, thank god i put those frame sliders on last week...

 

Ahh...lucky bass-turd! I had to replace a couple plastics (still have to replace the tail and lower) and the right side case-cover. The mid and upper plastics and the cover cost about $450!!

Dam you cold tires!![:@]

 

lol the main damage was done to the tail fairing, the lower has MINOR nicks, enough that even me (im really really **** about keeping things perfect, LOL) isnt going to replace it, the upper got some rash as well, its barely noticable but im replacing it..

but its just stupid stuff
i.e. left side mirror ($45), left side cover ($40), left side peg mount ($45), shift lever ($45

it all adds up.

 

Both sides of mine look like your left, will toss up some pics tomorrow when there is enough light for decent pics lol. Try to see how low i can get it on the way to and from work every day lol... so fun

 

heres mine
