There's a "lower fairing rubbed" thread already with same problem you have described. Obviously and unfortunately this is not an isolated instance.Front tire rubbing on the bodywork, I wonder whether it is a single case or a general problem
Can you take a picture of your steering head - how far do the tops of your shocks stick out above it?Front tire rubbing on the bodywork, I wonder whether it is a single case or a general problem
While installing my upgrades I can definitely see how that could happen with the bars turned about half way in either direction. Not much clearance there at that point. I've yet to ride mine so I can't comment on fork settings being the culprit. But baring it being a design clearance issue, my guess is your compression and / or preload are off. (too soft) Did you set your static or rider sag? Where are your compression clickers set?

I will add pics soon, 75kg@rafi - how far do the tops of your shocks stick out above your steering head? I'm guessing they don't look like the picture I posted...
Also, how much do you weigh?
No rubbing on mine. Like others have said, I think your suspension setting need to be adjusted for your weight and riding style.
I'd go back to the dealership. They'll have you sit on the bike, adjust sag and things like that. You can ask them to soften the bike up a bit although I'd be somewhat carful not to go too far in that direction. You'll dramatically slow turn-in if you get too soft.Where do you get this done at? I haven't touched any settings on my bike. I have wanted to though because it's too stiff for me, but I have yet to because I wouldn't know where to begin.
