For you track guys, I've got a question on fork setup.
In tight turns (Texas World Speedway Turn 10, for example) I have to constantly weight the inside peg and or lean on the inside clipon (not a prefered method) to maintain the tight line. I've raised the fork tubes 5 then 10 then 15mm (tube showing above the clipon) in an attempt to make it easier to steer without all the effort. Raising the fork tubes has helped alot. Holding tighter lines is definitely easier and improved toward neutral handling (where no weighting or countersteering would be needed to maintain the line), but it still needs to be improved. I haven't yet sensed any tendency towards instability or twichyness. Maybe I should just keep raising the tubes 'til I run the front fender into the radiator or it gets twichy? Not sure how far I can go in this direction.
How far are your fork tubes raised? Were you able to eliminate this handling problem?

Sheesh, I had already started a thread in the tech talk forum on fork setup. It's confusing having this 660 and that tech fora. Not sure where to post.
I guess I'll just keep the entire discussion over there. Please post responses there:
