its what jason told me to do so i just listened lol no probs afterwards and the bike turned better.
my main prob was i couldnt keep it tight through 10, i kept wanting to drift way out to the rumble strips and it got to the point where i was dragging my toes trying to keep it tight which was un-nerving. once the forks got raised it helped. i think i was turning in to early to.... not sure

hey if the shit works run with it :thumbup:
raising the rear on my r1 made it a bit "quicker" to turn in - I may raise the forks on it as well to add more rake - seems to be a common thing with that gen R1's to try to make them feel less like a truck.

we need to get jason and dan over here to offer up random wisdom..

You're not butting in...so no worries.

I was just asking Justin because I know he has run the DCIIIs as well and if he ran the the Sport Attacks I was hoping for a comparison.

Jr never ran the sports nate



I ran the sports last year, and i like them a lot. Quick to heat up and lots of traction, very forgiving and stable through the corners. They don't like warmers though, they get greasy when they are to hot but that was my own fault.

For the price i don't think you can get a better tire
