wrong feet position apart, in my opinion the Fazer has too little clearance, it scrapes everything even with a jack up kit, a lot of preload and removed centrestand: pegs even with the heroblobs removed, exhaust even if you put a higher one, crash protectors if you left them... I had been told that a member said he even scraped the bike itself.
The more you get up the bike, the less lean you need -and the more clearance you have- so a jack up kit is mandatory.
I have also increased 5mm the length of my adjustable rear shock, and put taller wheels (120/70 in a TRX850 front rim and a 170/60 rear). I haven't tested these mods on track but now the rear wheel almost touches the floor when the bike is on the centrestand and I have been able to put again the heroblobs, softened the suspension and there is still chicken strips in both wheels too
