Re: [ST] Bridgetone BT010 tires on a Sprint ST?



No, I have not done any modifications to the suspension. Not that I wouldn't
like to, I can feel that the front end needs the Race Tech mods (too much
squat under braking). Remember when I stated that my front end was sticking
when my partners weren't? I wondered if some of that was due to the fact I
had softer riding front forks. Perhaps next spring  I will opt for the Race
Tech mods.
