Ride with the pegs under the ***** of your feet. That will stop the toe dragging.

Ok, so I guess I cant say this without looking like a total a$$, but I know how to ride(start the flaming now). I do ride with the ***** of my feet on the pegs. When I am in right hand turns, like, tight right hand turns, I start dragging toe right after I start dragging knee. Like, knee touches, then toe touches.

Get someone to photograph you and post. We can take a look at your Body Position. Or it could just be that you have boat feet (LOL).

FWIW, my 1st Trackday I dragged toes in the carousel at Jefferson. Scared the crap outta me (don't do that again).
After learning better technique I could drag knee at Patriot, no toes on pavement, with stock pegs. Granted, that is with aftermarket suspension so that could be a factor too.

Here is a pic, obviously not on my CBR, but I don't have any of those on my work computer. This bike has rearsets that are higher than stock.

I pretty much do have boat feet, oh well.

Not to sound like mr. smartypants but I get pretty low with the stock rearsets and don't drag my toe.

btw- if you haven't had your suspension set for your weight/riding style, it could be a problem too.

Yea, I really need to get my suspension done. I am going to have it dialed in next time I am at the track.

You could go for the REARSET BRACKETS off of ebay they like $40 and move you up one and back one.
