Mood: st2......we can rebuild
suspension and tyre wear

when i first got my st2 it was a horrible ride, the front always felt unstable, it also used to eat the front tyre on the side.
after much advice from members i had a good play with me front suspension settings and basicly sofened them up,the front suspension was set up that hard on the front that it used to drift out on the slowest of corners.
this did cure both problems the handeling was much better and the next front tyre lasted two backs.
as my confidence has grown i know ride the bike quite a bit harder and the front tyre is wearing much quicker than the back again
don't really want to start having to replace pairs of tyres cause me fronts are wearing out quick,so even though i'm quite happy with the feel of my suspension ill back a bit of preload off and maybe a bit of comp damping.
or should i leave it alone and just not drive out of corners so hard.
or would upping rear ride hight up a tad more help.

just after any veiws on this and any similier experiances other members might have had.
