can you scrape the mufflers on the pavement with a GPX250?

hehe

no problems getting the zzr250 to get its scrape on. i couldn't do it with the original tyres though. the factory tyres are craaaaaap. the bike would be so much better if it came with Bridgestone BT45 tyres already on it.

i find that both my centre stand and the side stand scrape at the same time. my mufflers have scratches but i think that's from dropped the bike :) i'm not heavy either... maybe 65kg. i had all these grand plans to increase the clearance of the bike, but i've been lazy :D

its kind of disconcerting when the stands start digging in and your course gets diverted.

Just remove it and buy a universal rear stand...

Centre stands are heavy and a pain in the ass... Didnt think zxr's came with them to tell you the truth...

You've got suspension problems then. I'd be looking at your rear suspension because the ZZR 250 I owned and one I rode - didnt do anything like that.
