Bike feels to nose down for some reason and i dont know why.

Many many moons ago prob about 10 years I fitted the rear kack up kit to the bike to lift the back end up just of late ive been getting the bike back out and on the road and it feels too nose down this time for me that makes me feel i carnt chuck it into corners i can remember the bike feeling very neutral before and it instailled more confidence, i am thinking about putting the rear back to standard or firstly moving the forks up the yoke it looks like there is about 5-6 mm will the latter make a difference i will feel.

I think i will ring RO for some advice.

cheers all.

Are your tyre pressures correct? The bikes have uber rapid steering - you could be just needing to get used to it again.

I find that I am turning far to hard and fast when riding the NC and the Thunderace back to back

If you have 5mm of fork through the top yoke and the jack up kit fitted, that would make quite a big difference.
Also is your rear shock okay, if you feel you are loosing the rear the shock may be needing a service.

front forks shoudl have stopper circlip style spring rings on them to position them to the factory setting.
