Any of you guys with the tyga RSW fairing find it touches the ground at full lean.

It's fitted with the correct fixing kit so it should be correct on the bike.

My suspension set up seems OK and I haven't had problems with the std fairings

Seems a shame to be grinding holes into a nice fairing like this, and I ended running off the track at one point when it upset the bike mid corner. Lucky there was loads of run off at Valley so I only went grass tracking and didn't covert it into FOD

Yeah mate, the older Tyga GP250 fairing is the same - its that right hand side expansion chamber emerging from under the gull arm that's to blame. The fairing has to kick around it and it totally rapes the ground clearance. Best thing you can do is get a rear shock with length adjustment like an Ohlins and crank the ride height right up until the offending expansion chamber touches the swingarm when the bike sits with only its own weight bearing down on the suspension. Then you'll have made the best of an imperfect situation. Also be aware of how the spring sags under your weight whilst you ride it. A stronger spring will help if you're too heavy for the one in the bike now.

I removed the brackets on the bottom fixing point , shortened the front mount a bit and it was much beter on my previous bike . My 2nd bike has adjustable suspension but every now and then it does touch depending on the corner and setup .

Jeez, won't the fairing bu hard up against the chambers then? I used to have a problem with my standard chambers dragging on RH corners on the track, but haven't had that problem since I put the Ohlins on the back and raised the ride hieght up to the max and raised the front a little. I used to do this on my RS racebike - raised the whole bike 10 - 15mm and it would be a lot better on corner exit steering control.

I'd strongly advise against raising the front of the NSR. If anything it needs to be 10~15mm lower, unless you're going touring?!

Leaning too far?

But yes, looked quite bad, a slightly longer shock or more preload on the spring may help, whats your sag set at now?

Post a picture of you going around the corner , maybe you need to lean off the bike more

I think Paul and Neal may have a point about hanging off a bit more, I do tend to ride a bit tucked in.

Also a bit of a diet wouldnt go amiss as well to help the spring out.

Now I see ! I like the all white look of your bike .
What you need to try - force yourself is to move your body off the bike more . Keep the centre of gravity low and on the inside of the bike . You will feel that the bike will corner much easier . If you lean off more you keep the bike upright more and then the fairings should have an easier time . All part of the fun !
Double check the sag on the rear shock , measure it with weight as your kit will add a few kg's compared to trousers and flip flops in the garage .

Hi Andy

Totally agree. I had the challenge of the R6 forks as they are a bit longer than standard and to get them to mount up correctly in the triple clamps. I eneded up with a standard front ride height and raised the Ohlins shock ride height adjuster up to the max, lifting up the back 30mm.
