I raised mine rather than lower front as I did have clearance issues. Never had an issue with handking abouve walking pace with mine, was only when going slow it seemed very toppy

for the record .. put a new set of tyres on to replace the manky old ones and boy what a difference that made!!!

backed the preload off the front forks a notch

coupled up with a bit of basic maintenance .. oil change, grease linkages, clean calipers, degunk and properly lube chain and le voila .. bike is transformed

just goes to show what a difference a bit of care and attention can achieve

Good man, glad its coming right and you can enjoy ST ownership.
