Default RE: f4i & rearsets

About the rear sets,i do have a question.Does their positioning affect the leaning of the bike,i mean if they are upper than the standart position the pressure you use with your leg is smaller or bigger to lean the bike and the opposite if they are lower of than thestandart?Im asking cuz im new into the track days and want to set up my bike

Thanks

basically, they move the foot peg up and back about an inch or depending on the manufacturer. the dont really effect the force you use to lean the bike, but they do allow you to lean the bike over farther without draggin your pegs.

let me clarify, you do use force to lean the bike, however I did not notice any difference in leverage/shifting bodywieghtbetween using my stock foot pegs and my aftermarket rearsets[8D]
