tank clearance

[rotary78]

Hey everyone, I just switched up from a ninja 250 to a zx6. When I make tight turns, such as pulling or of a had station, into a parking lot or a driveway, and I turn the bars to, or close to a full lock, my forearms hit the gas tank and it becomes near impossible to ride. Does this happen with you guys? I’m 5’7″ but I have long arms and legs. What should I do? Should I raise my elbows as if I were riding a dirt bike? I never had this problem with the 250 because of the higher bars.

Hey Rotary! Just lift your elbows up, sounds like you are leaned over too much when turning.
