[sharpo]

I noticed that the front tyre looks more scrubbed than the rear over near the edges, also i'm nearer to the edges on the front than the rear.

Pirelli 120/70 and180/55.

35psi and39psi.

Could it be the front damping or preload is too hard?

cheers

Braking deep into corners?

[sharpo]

I'm not that quick, maybe I don't know i'm doing it?

[Glyn]

is the bike understeering.
sounds like it must be
as the back is pushing the front when cranked over
raise the rear or lower the front

[Fordie]

I would say thats nomal,if you fit a 190 on the rear then you would see the front closer to the edge as its a 180 and has a smaller profile the front does'nt get such a hammering in the corners. Thats my experiance between the two as Ive just gone back to a 180 from a 190. 4D

[sharpo]

It is a 180 so i'm not sure what you mean 4D

I have dropped the forks through the yokes, or raised the yokes up the forks if you prefer so yes the front is higher than it was when I got it, i'll change it back or lift the rear.

Is this the result of what people mean when they say "pushing the front"?

Thanks all.
