tight turn on a Honda Aero 50

I am new to the moped by one month or so. Is it common to scrape the bottom of the moped on tight turns? Seem like the turn I take aren't that tight but a few time manage to scrape the side of moped. I worry that if I hit it hard enough that I would lose control of bike. Is is expected to go slow on the turn with these bike?

I weight 200 and the bike is made for the 180 limits, and I consider maybe getting bigger shocks for the bike. If that would help.

BTW I made a animation featuring Bush on a bike, if anyone interested.

Could be weight, Im 200 as well but my spree never gave me problems other than the rear end is down a bit farther than i like, even on rough terrain it doesnt scrape on anything. The spree is a smaller lighter bike with shorter springs so your aero might just be worn out.

For your weight buy a 5 way adjustable shock and start with #3 if it still scrapes check the spring on the center stand or remove it and use a kick stand.
