I would like to know what to do to a 02 crf to make it close to 03 spec in the handling department .The head angle on the 03 is steeper, i have read that the shock link lifts the rear of the bike to do this, can i change mine to an 03 link. Any help would be apprieciated

I rode a 02 with only 90mm of sag to try to mimac the 03 setup-it seemed to work.Different offset clamps are also used but cost alot.
