help with foot controls
I need some advice, and I am sore most people will say do whatever is comfortable for you. But I am curious do allot of peps move their back brake pedal and shift level up so they can reach it or use it better while stunting? I want to move my back brake up for standups because it seems so far away for me to apply presure on it, then when I am sitting down after I adjusted it up is seems to high. Also for the shifter, same thing. Do you all rasie it? Or is it mind of matter and just have to get use to where they are.

Today...I scraped something else on the side in a very sharp corner, but I don't know what...(part of the bike) Maybe the pegs?

Re: help with foot controls
I have an 04 R6... and I do them staggered. Tail isn't too bad actually. The whole staggered feeling just takes some getting used to. I actually moved my brake down a bit cause I would step on it and not even notice. But I have big *** feat. Get comfortable with it... and it'll all be clockwork
