I lowered my front end by pulling the forks about 1cm up in the triple clamp a while back. I like the slightly faster steering, but I've noticed that now I use almost the whole front tire (i.e. ~2mm of chicken strip), and I haven't been to a track day on these tires so I wouldn't expect to push the tire over that far riding on the street. The back tire now has larger chicken strips than I previously had.
Can moving the forks 1 cm can affect the geometry so much that I risk losing the front end in a low side. I've been feeling the front want to push out in fast turns. I know I've heard of guys raising the forks more than the 1 cm I have, and I'm wondering if it happens to everyone who drops their front a little.
