adjusting front forks height in triple clamps?
I am experimenting with lowering the triple clamps on mine xt660z tenere with pretty good results. I moved forks tubes up around 7 mm and bike is way more agile and responsive on tight trails, front wheel doesn't have tendency to wash out anymore on loose terrain turns. Lowering triple clamps we're basically decreasing the rake/trail of the bike so my tenere is closer now in these regards to more off-road bikes like ktm 1190 or 1090 Adventure R which have 26 rake, yamaha had 28 from factory. I think I will keep my changes.
On dirt bikes that's pretty common to make such adjustments but anybody tried this also on bigger adventure bikes?
