rear ride-height adjuster ...
just raised the ride-height adjuster so the rear came up .250" from stock (i added an adjustable ride-height rod from an S model, to my base model a few weeks ago).
wow!!! even with this relatively small height adjustement, the hypertard tracks molto better, turns in faster/with more control, and exhibits zero twitchy-ness that i was sort of expecting (disclaimer: i am running an ohlins rod style damper).
next week i will raise the rear another .250" to see if this improves the ride even more, or starts to adversely effect handling.
btw, i know alex has advised to raise the rear up as far as it will go ... but i am a "little" lighter than alex  , so don't want to adjust the rear too much in one session. 
ciao,
johnc

LOL!! told you, crank it to the "MAX" you'll love it, and if does get too quick for you, you can drop the forks down in the triples to slow things down again, and guess what this will get you? MORE GROUND CLEARANCE!!  your welcome....Aloha Alex
