Thanks guys, reason I want to do this_ I use a prosthetic arm and feel steering is light when pulling away. Would like toput a bit more weight over front wheel. W would raising forks let me lean more forward and put more weight over front wheel?

The rear to soft will make light steering feel even worse. Set the correct rear preload and damping first and then the the correct preload and front damping. If it is still feeling light then try raising the forks through the yolks.

Hey Unfazed, I remember you telling me about this on my 600 and it did the trick with preload only........so I've checked my sag on my FZ1 with me sat on the bike and it is 40mm which is on the limits of being a little bit too much.... and low and behold I can feel my front end getting light when I get on the power mid corner.....like a small back and forth motion with the front wheel and stopping me turn in as I would like....so when I eventually get a preload tool i'll adjust the back sag to about 35mm and see how I get on.......but I have a feeling I might need to go a click softer on the rear compression also which I believe is unlike the preload...so ill go 'harder' for want of a better word on the rear preload....but softer on the compression maybe by 1 click.....what dya reckon....is there any logic there???

& Bluefaze......what is your current rear sag with you sat on the bike out of interest?...have you checked it as we are both looking for a less light front end so would be handy to compare settings as we go along???
