Hi, I've just bought a new 2021 Gasgas txt racing. When I got it home I rode it around in my driveway for 2 or 3 minutes just to get a feel for the bike. A while after riding it I noticed that I had bruises on both calf muscles. These were caused by the very sharp edges on the side of the airbox. Admittedly, I did ride the bike with casual low cut boots on, so I guess it's my fault. My concern is that even with my trials boots on this is still going to be a problem if I'm riding it for 2 or 3 hours. I had a 2018 TRS before this bike and didn't really notice this being a problem even without boots on.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to improve things? I really does seem like a bad design, but as I understand it, the airbox has had the same design for at least 10 years now, so I guess most people don't find this a problem??
