Woah! felt like all my weight was on my arms and my arse was in the air ![[Image: blink.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif)
- quickened up the steering a lot too, possibly too much. Scratchers may like it.
Immediately didn't like it meself so settled on 10mm for the balance between quicker steering and retaining the riding position. I was amazed at the difference a small adjustment makes . Costs nothing too.
Try it, I think you will be surprised![[Image: good.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif)

Yeah, I think I will drop 10mm and see what happens. Interesting, a reviewer also commented on the same trait and blamed it on the 18'' front wheel. http://www.motorbikestoday.com/reviews/Art.../yam_tdm900.htm
That said, my 1100GS had a 19'' front wheel but turned very quickly so I think that rake is also involved. Probably Yamaha just wanted to give it a stable, conservative setting from the factory.
