I'm always touching my toes when cornering and when really going for it,I can get the exhaust guard and side stand foot down.
I did experiment by altering the preload on the rear shock,but it made the handling really twitchy and the bike was very unstable on the side stand.I've wound it back down to the STD mark.

thats weird, theres no reason to be so far through and the bike does tip in faster than my 999, seems to make sense to move forks back through, increase ground clearance, slowing down handling.
