[QUOTE="Cerebus, post: 969544, member: 27457"] I have a story about this one. When I bought my FJR 2 yrs ago, a friend of mine at work who also owned an FJR that he totaled gave me this advise. Keep the balls of your foot on the pegs when going through curves. The reason for this advice is because he totaled his bike when when his toe got caught in between the peg and the road when leaned over. To make it through the rest of the curve, he had to lean more but could not because of his foot being drug on the asphalt. He had to stand the bike up in the curve which caused him to run wide and total his bike. This was not as important on my previous 03' ZX-6rr but on the FJR it is VERY important. Even sometimes when I have the ball of my foot on the peg, I'm still scraping boot before peg. [/QUOTE]
