Fork Height

[Travist1161732]

For those who have played with fork height, just curious where you've found the most harmony (assume avg track rider w/ stock triple/forks). The new 2012 has geometry changes that shortened wheelbase. The bike came stock at 12mm (4 bars, 3mm each). But I read that it was supposed to come stock at 17mm? So I took this into account, combined it with the shortened wheelbase of the 2012, and raised my forks 8mm to 20mm total. I think this is too much, but am not sure since haven't been to track with new setting. I don't want the front to feel unstable, but I'm not fast enough yet to fully realize small differences. I think I'm going to lower forks back another 3mm so that I'll be at 17mm, any thoughts on where you guys like your setting? (stock setup)??

Well since I have installed the rear Ohlins BM888(standard height) and 30 mm front kit, I positioned the forks at 8mm (Ohlins I think recommends 6mm).I also shortened the wheel base by almost 1cm(+2 rear sprocket).For trackday I believe it all depends on the type of circuit.If it is a tight close circuit then I think a bit more front lowering is ok (maybe 2-3mm more).In open high speed circuits I think that you have to top up the front (also seen it on the Superstock 1000 World championship).On the road now as I have it now its really nice.

anyone with stock forks on the track they've messed with height?? Again, just curious on the balance of what felt stable but still flicked in well.
