Default Turning

[QUOTE=Jakobi;152361]I'm short and ride tight singles all the time. Depending on the particular fork, I've dropped them through the triples with as much as 9mm above the top clamp.

At the moment I'm running some KYBs with reduced offset. I don't think it particularly helps as they also feel a bit heavier (take more effort to instigate a turn).

Apart from lowering the front, you could try raising the rear. 2012+ chasis responds well to approx. 98mm sag.

I ride tight singles mainly, the only time I think about the turning is on 180d turns. I am going to tighten up the sag, and see how it feels. The bike is fine everywhere else, but I would really like it to turn tighter also.
