That was my personal opine and I didn't read every post with a fine tooth comb...but I'll take that as a compliment from a loone that goes flying 30 feet in the air.
If you ever come to Palm Beach County, Florida......I'll take you fishing if you take me on a serious ride in my sandpit...I'll provide the bikes.
For the net change, some rear, some front. Bike pitch or attitude affects rake and trail and the reaction moments from the front end at various lean and steering angles. I did raise the front of the bike by sliding the forks down.
As for 'flickability', I'd rather start with more neutral handling and 'flick' faster is I want to. Stock, the front end causes unwanted 'flicking'... from the need to make corrections.
I recently did some slalom-type riding on dry grass after the mods. Amazing is all I can say! Extremely 'flickable', but newe once did the front end want to slide out on me.
I have noticed that on a downhill, rocky section it is difficult to get this bike to take a solid line, definately squirrleyI thihnk this will be my next focus for my bike. I have never really messed with suspension much on any of my bikes except for changing oil etc, so this should be a nice learning curve.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the information.
I let the bars wander and stay on the gas but the bike is still twitchy, compared to others I have ridden. What are the 06/07 bikes like, and what were the rake angle changes made for the 09 models?
