That front vagueness you are referring to Andy and Freak could also be too much rebound damping ... causing the forks to just keep compressing and losing travel. It's what I suffered on the 996 - I backed it off a bit and it's good as gold mate ;)

Cheers tp.

TP what tyres you running on the 996 and the 998?

Andy
Your so kind, but, no thanks mate.
£15 a tyre change would negate their budget viability.

Good tyres though, although 209's are out now (if you can get them)

Straight swap for the ZX10 then?
The ZX is up for sale now - so if you fancy a p/ex - be quick!!!

Diablo Corsa's on the 996 and the 998 came with Rennsports on it, plenty of life in them so I don't need to change them just yet.

I'm undecided about the new Supercorsa Pro's or Corsa's as replacements for the Rennsports as yet.
