I did do the r6 tube after I had tried the dan kyle throttle tube. I like the r6 tube much more. The swingarm angle being too flat would make sense. The combination of the much improved suspension allowing me to raise the rear has resulted in the bike being significantly more planted while cornering, maintaining the line well and not wheeling or running wide on exit. Trying these settings with the old suspension gives me nightmares because the bike was so unstable in the corner. To be honest I am not all that knowledgeable about the specifics of the geometry, what the ideal numbers are and so on. I need to work on gaining more insight into it so I can know what the changes are really doing and how the math relates to the feel. Much more in-depth than I am now. I know some, but it is never enough it seems...
