Lean angle on XTR

I am on my first XT660R '06 model and after a number of Suzuki roadbikes I was unsure about how far over an XTR would lean before any problems given it's a trailbike with 21" front wheel long travel suspension etc.
I on the advice of afk40 I fitted a new set of Avon Distanzias in standard sizes.After a bit of rounabout surfing my confidence grew and I can now touchdown the footpegs and sidestand with no issues.I am not claiming to be anything special as a rider infact I'm a bit of a knob sometimes but the credit entirely goes to the Yamaha and Avon engineers for making the most of their fine products.Oh and afk40 for his advice.
