For those there I've got the skinny on my MM handling from a BMW suspension expert I just spoke to. When the rear shock height is minimized the front forks must be all slid all the way down in the triple clamps too. Having the forks at the upper mid marks and the rear all the way lowered the bike would be slower to turn in and feel like it wants to run wide, which is exactly how it felt yesterday!
Next week I might being the MM out again to see if dropping the triple clamps to the low mark works, because riding that road with you guys is the only way to find out what the bike is doing while its being pushed. If I'm on my own I just dial it down to where the bike feels right, and accept that as its limits, but getting to push it to a brisker pace really helps understand what those limits are and how they can be improved upon.
