Track Days- issues and solutions

[Burgess118]

Hi all, just took my Fazer round Snetterton and found it brilliant...


Just one issue which is the footpegs, scraping away when tipped in.






Has anyone else changed bits and bobs for the purposed of track use, i want to keep it road legal and friendly... Though I have a race micron can in it.


To those who worry, the fazers love track!

Get yourself some rearsets if your going to make a habit of trackdays, or a jack up kit for the rear.
Good effort by the way, that's a good old lean angle!!!

A proper shock that doesn't sag as much and rearsets, and you'll be good to go!

As already suggested.  Then a high level can.  The next thing to hit would be the engine casings......!

Remove the hero blobs from the pegs for track for a little extra clearance, if you still ground out then there's some adjustable Chinese ones on ebay.

I didn't want to be a nuisance starting another 'track day' posting so thought I'd restart this old topic ...
I wondered if anyone here had used these foot peg adjusters ^^^^ and if so they alright ?? I'm never to sure buying Chinese parts..

I found myself scraping the footpegs yesterday on 2 occasions the 1st time just messing about going round some roundabouts on an industrial estate. I wasn't aiming to get my knee down or anything, more just messing about passing half an hour on a long detour home.
2nd time giving it a bit to much and in a crash or close your eyes and give it some beans moment... :/

Iv been looking at Kebabs R6 rear shock mod which will help pick up the back end which is needed but that won't be til winter time really ..

ive scraped mine quite a few times on the road even with a higher profile rear tyre and stiffened up rear shock!

I had exactly the same issue on my first track day at snetteton.  I got some 50mm riser plates made (I think I may have spare set if your interested) and the only issue then I had the next time was the sidestand scrapping at serious lean angles. Check this YouTube link https://youtu.be/igCqYtugfp0. Apart from the riser plates everything was standard except I dropped the forks through the yokes 25mm.

Yeah I know there prone to scraping at relatively 'normal lean angles' anyway. Was just surprised when I did as I thought would have needed a bit more effort. Ha

I'v already watched your vids SGP. Lol awesome stuff !  you mentioned before about having a spare set of riser plates.  I looked at some on fleabay a few weeks ago .  I may be interested ..

Thats the whole point of them --- on the road at least as they are a guide as to how far over you are its not that unusual to ground them
