Just out playing today, and whilst cornering the rear brake lever dug in and bent outwards. Ive ground it out before but never dug it in as hard as that!!! Just wondering if anyone else has done that before???

... Yorkie.

Nearly crapped myself though!

I managed to bend and grind out my rear brake lever on my last track day hence why I got rear sets, it certainly scares you when it digs in and tries to chuck you off the bike.
I've also noticed that I have started to grind out my side stand and exhausts
ooops.

Touched the gear lever down on a lefthander once when the bike decided to select a false neutral just as I entered a bend - was a little scary. Lack of ground clearance is a 'characteristic' of all Monsters. It's a bit of a pity because generally the handling is pretty good.

I think the roundabout modification has given me enough clearance for now!! I was out surfing yesterday and didn't ground out all day!!
