no offense pal but that's probably the problem.
If he does it when he is riding solo, his GFs weight is irrelevant.

work on body positioning, do you wear riding boots? if ya dont ya need some, the toe sliders may save your *** and bike. Scaping hard parts isnt good lol.

I'm pretty sure my boot always hits the ground before the peg does.

I have read in some reviews that the f4i's footpegs touchdown earlier than most other comparative sportbikes gixxer or the RR. When I was at the track I was scraping my peg on an off camber right hander untill i fixed my body position, after that it stoped happening. I am not very experienced but from what I know if you are dragging hardparts you need to fix your positioining, lean off more and get your knee out, allowing the bike to be more upright, or buy some new rearsets.
