It changes the geometry of the bike so that the nose sits down further....this improves turn in on corners but less stability in a straight line.....jacking up the back end with dog bones increases the effect.
I did it with the 600 with good results but i didnt like it when i tried it on the gen2 thou as i think on the thou there is no substitute for getting the settings set up properly.......plus i then struggled with ground clearance.....but on a bike with pre load only adjustments i think it is more worthwhile as a means of eeeking out a bit more handling in the twisties.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
