My brother in law had this same problem I watched him ride adn realized he wasnt getting back on the balls of his feet after shifting. Once hse started moving his feet around accordingly, he started dragging the peg, not his boots.

I have only had one student on a blast. I think they are terrible learner bikes for the same reason you stated. I dont have trouble with cruisers or standards, Only other bike that was extremely tippy was the older ninja 250. I dont care for them either. Sine I teach only on a military base...

The few things the guide fails to mention is that you need to bend the tang slightly, adn teh grey adn black wires that are not used are on the servo. The grey and blck from the control pad are both used. To ops check the servo. Remove the plate at the rear, When you arm the CC teh light will...
