X 400 GT: Decent Lean Angles -- 34° Left, 35° Right -- With No Scraping

In case anyone was wondering -- and this came up a time or two, regarding the 650 Burgman, on that forum -- I was out for a solo day trip yesterday. In looking at and processing some of the video today (too hot to ride now, IMO, anyway), I noted some decent lean angles for my new scoot (in a couple of video chunks, at different times): 34° left and 35° right.

These are right around, or maybe a degree or two higher than, the max values for the Big Burger ... but only if the centerstand is being ground down at the same time, and with the shocks set at max. I have still yet to grind anything on my new 400, and I've been keeping the shocks at their softest preload, so that impresses me.

Yeah, I know, "Pics or it didn't happen," so have a look at one condensed segment, if you're interested:
