wearing left boot on sub frame hex bolt
Print view
|
Am I the only one who is wearing a hole in my left boot on the hex bolt (holding the lower subframe arm just above the foot peg) when I change gear? I've got the frame plugs but can't find anything to cover the hex bolt properly so at the moment I have wrapped it in electrician's tape and hold my foot at a strange angle to stop it wearing any more. |

Zitat von MattA im Beitrag #1 Your search suggests that the answer to your question is, Yes, you are the only one..., but probably not. That said - Photos of the issue might help identify what's different about your set-up and position than others without that problem. Otherwise, I predict a thousand words of advice....

Only the usual wear and tear here |

My '16 RS has an oval shaped clear protective film just above the bolt you're talking about. Leads me to believe the factory gave that scenario some thought. The bolt head you're referring to is slightly scuffed/polished on mine. So I'm probably rubbing it with my boot, but not much, as there's no damage to the boot. Are you actively hanging off and shifting positions when cornering? The footpeg bracket on both sides, on my bike, receives most of the wear from boots.

Agree a photo of your bike may help rather than crazydave but for me I have no damage to my boot or bike. |

Everyone is different, maybe its a "Germanic heel click" you are doing? |

Curious as to where you place your feet on the rests? Instep or balls of feet? |
