Hey guys,
Here are some fresh photos, from a few days ago. Still the bike isn't repainted, just with the white/gray filler on it. Last time round I crashed, so the windscreen is new, and the can is half the past size and much louder than it used to be.
I did some geometry changes - front forks are now aligned with the top triple clamp, and not on top of it (like the manual recommends), which gives the bike an additional mils of trail and raise the front a bit. Sprockets I use - -1 front and +1 rear with the same 108 links chain (520) which puts the rear wheel at the very end of the swing arm. All this, plus a huge 200/55/17 rear tyre... Now the bike is much stable while cornering, and doesn't tend to wheelie at all. I pretty much recommend these settings.
Cheers.

I forgot to mention that the biggest plus of the intervention is the stability during braking due to the increased wheelbase.
The forks are really compressed indeed because the springs are dead - sag is 40 instead of 35 with all the preload possible. I'm not sure if the springs are the originals as i bought the bike second hand and not brand new. New WP springs will be ordered for the next track day and the shock will be serviced and revalved.

I guess I don't judge a rider by his tire if he hasn't gotten to the edge riding probably alot of city or a occasion back roads. Then again I can see chicken strips on Letsride bike in his gallery. Only one true good way to get rid of them and being safe is the track. I can get rid of them doing a back roads ride. But..... if you don't do it often they will reappear in due time regardless.
