The tires feel great, feels like a 600f4, But the rear now feels squaty, I raised the rear height 1" and still feels like the front stil pushes a little bit.
Has anyone done this?
Thinking I should lower the front a few mil's.....
Any thought's?

I stuck with the 190, even at the track the tires didnt even think about breaking loose. The only difference with a 180 you should feel is being able to turn into a tight corner faster than before. Maybe its your imagination thinking its pushing out. Im just curious how the tires feel great but the bike feels squaty and loose?

I'm not sure what the series # was of the 190 I pulled off the rear..
I use all the rear just playing around the neighborhood the front still had 1" on each side left.
So went 2 clicks up in the rear, it help reduce the "push" feel from the front and got over another 1/2" on the front.
so obviously the geometry was off, has any one lowerd the front a few mill's for street use?
