| Glyn, I've adjusted the tie bar at the back of my 999S to raise the rear height by about 15mm. It had no noticeable effect on stability but it did quicken the steering marginally. After a few months of that, I dropped the front yoke down the forks by three rings. There's a tiny amount of instability that's crept in on fast sweepers (at 120 mph plus) but no dramas. The beastie does steer a lot quicker on the twisties though and I can bank left-right-left etc much more easily now. When I compare how the bike is now against how it was on standard settings, well ... there's no comparison.
The changes I've done to mine are so worthwhile, I don't hesitate to recommend them to you. All I suggest is that you tweak the front and back ride heights a little bit at a time (and don't change both at the same time) and see how it goes after each change. BUT ... before you do any of that, make sure you are happy with compression/rebound/preload settings before attacking the ride height. |
