I though I purchased a "Sport". I'm not sure what's dragging. Can't find any scuffs on the Center-stand or Side-Stand. Great Scooter, but a little more ground clearance would have been nice.

Anyone know where I can buy some Ground Clearance?

Make sure your suspension is set for the hardest ride. Losing some.. er... pounds will help too if you're a full sized man like some of us.

Hello, do clarify what you mean by dragging. Do you mean if you're riding the bike on a straight road, or were you in a full lean?
I tend to get the little knobs at the sides of the main stand scraping across the ground when I'm in a full lean. Is this what you meant when you mention 'dragging'?

One of the things I really like about this scoot is the amount of ground clearance! It's pretty high up already I find. The only issue I have had is when in a full lean at high speeds you can snag the two little knobbys on the center stand ... but they grind off pretty quickly.
Maybe try to adjust your suspension to make it stiffer.

I replaced those two little "nubbies" with small bolts and washers. I have lots of them. After adjusting the suspension at its highest setting I haven't had any more problem with the center stand grinding on my GT. Dressed for riding I weigh about 215lbs.

I guess you can call that full lean. I was surprised the first time I experienced it. No big deal, I'm not a GP racer anymore.

Single rider. 180lbs without gear. I have to look to see if the stand is sticking down, it looks like its where its supposed to be. Thanks

Will do (Still deciding). Still set at whatever it was when I took delivery.

I'm starting to think that I might have it at too soft a setting. Think I'll just leave it the way it is. Love the plush ride and soft seat.

Only time I had ground clearance issues with my CGT was when I dropped it.
