So back to suspension.
Brimo, what have you found so far?
I have changed to a 120/70 on the front from a 120/60

better roll in & out of corners but slower to steer.
So I am thinking about taking the back up a little as well to see if I can speed up the turn-in.

If you do pop back in here, let us know where you're at.

cheers

Ummm, weren't you one of those contributing to the thread jack though.  Wink  but a good idea to start the "say anything" thread.
and me being a grumpy bastard, asked the moderator about the threadjacks and I was politely told to STFU and GTFO

However back to the topic: rear ride height raised by 20mm improved turn in (maybe a bit too much), tracked well on tight turns up the back of the gold coast. a bit less tendency to wallow on bumpy faster corners as well, will do a few more rides before I change it (if at all) as it does take a bit of getting used to.
There has been some talk on other threads about dropping the front  a little (5mm!) will give that a try at some stage too.
Give it a shot, doesn't take long just remember you've gotta adjust the chain as you go.

Great thanks Brimo, glad we got it back on track and that the change is doing good things for you.
I will have a go at mine soon, might even ask the shop to do it tomorrow while it's having a service.
Might not go 20mm then, I'll half it and see what happens.

cheers
