i had a set of michelins on mine when i first rode it. Couldn't get in any further than 15mm from the edge before it felt unstable. The tyres looked as if they went flat on the side. I changed them for super corsa's where they felt great and had the belly pan down, pegs and can they never gave a definate feedback. It was all or nothing. Ditched them went to 090's same as the super corsa's but could tell when they were on the edge and could do more.

Don't try so hard!
What your probably doing is getting your body out of line.
Hanging your arse off but not keeping your body in line too.
What tyre pressures do you run?
How do you find the bike when you enter a corner? Does it want to stand up or fall in?

I have a photo of a gk76a almost with the bar end down!!!
Im sure Darren knows the photo. Out on track i had to move my body back on the bike afew times. My suspension is amazing but needs one last tweek, but it handles ace.
As for the photo:
I never knew how good these bikes were untill i spoke with Darren.
