But if you have not done that then it should not be flitty at the ton. Mine has been lowered and is rock solid at 100 +. What changes have you made to the suspension settings? Out of the box they are set soft.

Last guy to service my bike said "it handles well" and he is a club racer.

Set up correctly a S would run rings around a VFR

I not saying mine handles badly, yes it does handle better than a VFR, but l have to move around on the bike more than a VFR, to get the best out of it, hard to explain really

The bike was set up at Snells for my body weight,they told me the spring was to strong for my weight, and adjusted it the best they could.

When you say lower the rear wheel, do you mean shorten the shock/to adjust the ride height????

I assume Snells had to lengthen the spring to make it softer for me

So could fitting the new Spring for my weight transform the bike
