Problem is if you lighten the rider too mcuh you will be very fast on straights and uphill corner but not so fast on downhill corners :D

I'm then in another peek, I weight only 64 kg's and with height of 164 I have real problems w/ Paso... If I lighten 5 kilos then I can't ever stop (even in traffic lights) so that Paso doesn't fall down ;) ..so I think it might be better lighten and down Paso lower... I thought that when lower front 40mm in t-crowns and lower back slacking monolink alike, riding geometry stays and I might have easier to handle that bike... Any comments or hints to dwarf?

Sorry folks, this _might_ be wrong thread for this conversation/questions ;)

Antti, yes, I drink lots of beer but not for weight but for fun... ne cliponit on suunnilleen mallia SS mut väärinpäin, yks kaveri tekee ne rosterista ja mä aattelin pudottaa t-kappaleita 40mm et ne sais ylä-t-kappaleen yläpuolelle kii, samalla tippuis satula 20mm niiltäosin. Vaijerit ja letkut riittää, paitsi yläjarruletku mut sen aattelin vaihtaa muutenkii. Kyl se siitä :thumbup:

I met a guy lighter and less tall than tou are riding a 906 and I can assure you thah if you're skilled enough to appreciate geometry differences, you are also skilled enough to ride with standard forks tuning! :thumbup:
Otherwise, making some changes is the only way to find your favorite setup. Remember only that a lower rear monolink will keep your exaust pipes closer to the road in hard bends! :funny:
have a nice ride, Nicola
