Improve you positioning n form n hang off the bike

And yes a lowered bike will have scrapping issues, its been stated 12786497823 million times but no one seems to get it until they scrap shyt or lowslide because of it.

 

Raising the 1" will help.

Hope this will help a little: Having followed lots of students, you're hanging off with your butt and abs but not with your torso or head. Play the video and put your cursor on the dead center of your helmet, as you move through the turns, it stays in the same place on the helmet. On a left turn, ALL of the helmet should be left of the cursor, on a right, ALL on the right.

The goal, of course, is to move the center of gravity out so the bike requires less lean angle. The COG is the torso and head - not the butt. Moving your torso/head out will decrease lean angle and decrease hard-part scraping.

One of the things I tell students to get in the feel of practicing this to drop the inside elbow. This forces the torso over.

 

You may feel like you are hanging off like a monkey, I do too when I'm on the track but if you watch your video, you can see your head/upper body not really getting out there. You are moving your butt off the seat but you need to put your helmet where your mirrors were and lower your inner/turning elbow more so your upper body follows ... make a small pizza slice with your arms,

 

Thanks for the tips and suggestions. I'm definitely going to work on my positioning next time out. Keep in mind that vid was my third time ever on a track, and I was still taking it all in instead of focusing on good technique and being smooth all around. I was running 1'38-39s, advanced group was running 1'34-35s , I was pleased with my progress. Can't wait to go back!
