Not sure if the pre-gens are the same, but on the new gens, if you're leaning left and scraping pegs, be very careful. The kickstand tab is easy to drag, and that has zero give.

There's a reason they make us cut it off before we can race. My first track day, I think I started dragging pegs about my third lap. Then, I started working on my body position so my knee was getting down before my toes/pegs. It does take a fair bit of practice to get the feel for going immediately to the correct position.
