It could well be related to the larger rear tyre...

Just out of interest, can you get your knees/pegs down? When I've had a bike with a wider rear tyre the bugger just wouldn't turn whatever I did with the suspension or myself! Going to a 170 shouldn't make a massive difference, though.
Who needs tyres when you've got knees!! :twisted:

Hmm could be. When it goes bald i'll get a size down. And as of yet no i havent been able to get my knees down, although where i live the roads are like fucking mountain paths and there isnt a long enough corner for me to get that far over.
