Ok, so now I need some help and I think this is the right thread. Why am I scraping up my center stand before my peg feelers touch down? Photos show how much stand I've lost, and clearly there's lots of edge left on my rubber so I should be able to go much lower. I'm riding 1 up, minimal gear in panniers, and I'm under 200lbs (88kg). 2018 Tracer 900GT.
Lean angle - how low can you go?!

Hey awesome people! Thanks for the feedback and ideas on my center stand scraping. I always keep tire pressure in spec, but I was already thinking that it might be a suspension problem. It seems like the scraping happens mostly when I'm already somewhat leaned over and go over a moderate bump. The original owner had it for 8 months and put 3,000 kms on it before I bought it, so I wonder if he did something to soften it too much. I had the rear preload in the middle position, but I just put it to maximum hard last night to see how it does. That said, I don't think I should have to be riding 1-up with max preload, so I need to educate myself on how to properly set-up the suspension (since my fancy new Tracer GT has fully adjustable suspension anyway). Let me know If anybody has any good links on how to set up suspension properly, otherwise I'll do some research this weekend. THANKS!
