Bike Geometry question...
I wish my 2006 FZ1 felt a bit more like a full on sport bike. I feel like the front end is a tad vague.. I think because I feel that not enough weight is on the front end.
Whats the difference in geometry changes between raising the adjustment on the rear spring perch ( that i think raises the back of the bike, and therefore steepening the head angle)
And lifting the forks up in the triple clamp by a few mm. also tightening up the front head angle... Seems like up to 8 mm of fork leg showing above the triple clamp is OK.
Anyone have any recommendations? I am going to eventually try to drop the bars, by either a set of low risers or something like the speedymoto tallboy 50mm clip ons to try and put some more weight no the front end..
What else can I do?
Anybody have any recommendations?
