Today I had a bit of an epiphany in regards to why my bike feels so difficult to steer on the street. It doesn't want to counter steer, it fights me and I have to push it. I'm guessing this has something to do with the change in suspension. I found if I adjust my body position enough that I can relax my arms and body and commit to the corner, the bike settles more easily and counter steers with less resistance. I don't need to hang off and look like a total poser but I do need to move over a bit.
It's strange to me that a suspension change that makes my bike turn in WAY faster on the track makes it down right awnry on the street. But I'm glad I figured it out.
I really should play with the preload.
I also need to stop neglecting my bike. I need to put in the power commander. It's not a huge project yet I'm totally slacking. I'm not sure what my problem is.
