Has anyone moved their forks lower in the clamps (seem to have a 1/4" to 3/8" of fork above the top of clamp)? What result did you get? I am considering lowering my forks to try and stabalize the RM a little bit. I basically have to focus on keeping my bars straight in corners, if I don't the least input will cause it to turn in too quickly and before I know it I'm on the ground. I'm sure it has a lot to do with my inexperience as a rider, but I'm still trying to find things to make turning a little more stable and less unpredictable. Just for info.: my bike has after market Applied triple clamps (came that way when I bought it),the forks are set with the line on the fork flush with the top of clamp. I also recently put new tires on front and rear(Michelin M12 front, MS3 rear), tires did help. I also did tighten up my adjustment nut on the headset to provide more resistance for rotation of the bars, seems to help head shake issue, but not so much in the turns. Everything I read talks about how well RM's turn, for me it seems like it turns in (washes out) to easily. Appreciate any help or input.
