Had you tried lowering the handlebars on the fork legs before that?, I'd be interested to know if that had same effect. My bars are pushed up against the top crown so i think can be lowered.

When you say "it turned better" was that on the entry into the turn, through turn when bike is leant over, more stable or easier to get on gas out of turn or just because it flicked from one side to the other through an S bend easier??

Height might actually come into it, i'm quite small so sit a long way forward over the tank anyway, the taller you are the more you'll slide back in seat to get the most comfortable stretch to bars.

This one's really doing my head in trying to work it out.
