Yes you do, By lowering any part of the bike your messing with the geometry of the bike, thus making it ride very different. PLEASE use google, there are many websites on why you shouldn't do this and if you're going to, do it the right way/ safe way.

I google'd "Motorcycle lowering" and it came up with a ton of stuff - imagine that?

The only play room you might have is from an article from a few years back suggesting that raising the fork tubes .5-1cm (thus lowering the front end) makes a stock f2 handle slightly better. If that were you, that's all I'd be messing with. Anything else to drop the bike is pretty taboo.
