Just wondering if anyone has made any geometry changes to their 2020 K67 setup? I mounted a set of Dunlop Q4 tires and noticed right away the bike became to agile for my liking. Specifically during corner entry, meaning it turns to fast and feeling really twitching/ sensitive to the slightest bar inputs. I often get the feeling that the bikes falls into the turn and wants to fall on it's side towards the inside of the corner. I've been trying to cure this issue by raising the front end (dropping the forks in the triple) 2mm at a time and testing for a change in feeling. Currently I'm running the fork tubes (gold tube) flush with the top of the upper triple. The silver fork cap is the only part visible. This adjustment helped but I still feel it turns to fast and is to sensitive.
After raising the front I decided to lower the rear ride height link to its lowest setting which is only about 1.5mm at the linkage which translate to about 4mm when measured from the rear fairing to the axle nut. This adjustment helped a bit more, but the bike still feels like it turns to fast for my liking. Anyone else experiencing sensations like these on track or canyon runs? I think its must noticeable in long sweeping turns where the bike is on its side for some time. The slightest input at the bars has a dramatic effect on line and lean angle. I've noticed from day one of riding the bike and I figured some of it is just down to me adapting my riding style and being more precise with my inputs. Coming from a RSV4 which steered like a tank and required very aggressive steering inputs.
And before people ask? Yes my sag is set. I have a motool digital sag setting tool. My F/R sag number are as close to flat as I can get at F 36mm and R 32mm
