Pegs scraping in corners
Hey all,
Starting to scrape my pegs while cornering. Is this alleviated with aftermarket rearsets, or am i doing something wrong?
Cheers

Yeah, your going to damn fast! Slow the f*ck down! 
Rearsets will solve this problem. Plenty of options available.
Do a search here, there's plenty of info on the subject.

Welcome to the world of the Hypermotard! while not a track bike, she will do OK with a few mods, while stock, all you can do if you have a "S" model is adjust the rear link to be as long as possible to raise the rear, & raise the front by dropping the tubes in the triple clamps, this will raise the bike for more cornering ground clearance.
And then when you get faster, and you still keep grinding the pegs, you will have to invest in some rearsets.  Aloha Alex
