Re: [ST] Raisint the forks

["Jeremy Witt" <Jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Which leads to more silly questions: is there a way to raise the rear of
the ST with the stock rear shock?  I'm finding my pegs grinding way
earlier than I'm used to (coming off Hawk GT).  Those peg feelers are
pretty long.  But I may also be falling victim to the too soft and 18k
mile tired-out front end.  When I Race Tech, perhaps all these questions
will go away...

you experiment, and what sort of results did you get.  Thanks in

Matt, 
Some of the RS's quicker turn-in comes from its higher rear ride
height [same difference, sorta].  I've had the ST's forks raised as
much as 12mm with no adverse effects. 

I'm scheduled for new Pirellis tomorrow [Diablo front / Diablo Strada
rear] and plan to service & reinstall the forks ~6mm higher than
stock.
