I dropped the yoke about 10mm on my 9'er and it helps with reducing the effort needed for a flic-flac and also makes steering in a little lighter. But it doesn't cure the understeer as imho the main factor in that is the front suspension.
I just put thicker oil (15W) in the front fork legs and that does help a lot. Makes the bike feel a lot less bouncy as well.

I'll let go of my throttle when they pry it from my cold, dead hands...
