a big thanks to Pete for totally redoing my forks on saturday at Loudon., after practice and before my races for the day ., i had a blown fork seal., and they were due for a freshenup also.., they felt 100% better and back to normal., just wish i was myself.., ugggg


and talking with Pete we could come up with what the bike was like and how I liked to ride it and the feel i wanted.,

also a question Pete !! i raised the front the 5mm and it does like you said i can now correct if i have to ., BUT it now spins up the rear alot easier exiting the corners ??

thanks again

If you input the bars while your leaned over and on the gas it will spin the tire. Make sure you change direction first then roll on the gas. If you need to adjust your line, you will have to modulate the throttle. Sounds like this is what happened. With the added trail you are still steering the bike after the apex. There is no set up that will fix this, it's just how much force the tire is seeing.

ah ha... so you finally raised the front.. good man. you had a shit load of fork showing through the top of your triples madman.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
