[QUOTE="JTT, post: 105979, member: 19620"] Marcus is right on, I think a problem here is terminology. "Raising or lowering" the forks is misleading. Actually what you are doing is raising or lowering the front of the bike. If you slide the forks up in the clamps (ie: more tube sticking out about top clamp), you are effectively lowering the front of the bike, and as Marcus pointed out this will put more weight on front end and steepen steering angle, making it turn quicker. The opposite is true by raising front end (lowering forks in clamps). If you think of it as rasing and lowering bike, it is much easier to keep track of IMO. In fact I think that shockdoc and bigred are actually saying the same thing, but their terminology makes it sound opposite. [/QUOTE]
