I just purchased the new pilots, decided to go w/the 70 pro ( 120/70/17) on my 03 R6. I've been hearing great things from people on this forum bout the 70's so i'll just have to find out for myself. Do I need to make any adjustments in my suspension or will the stock settings work? If i need to make some adjustments, anybody know bout a place in Dallas that can do this work for me? Thanks in advance for your input

Since I'm only 5'8" on a good day I had my shop lower the forks 10mm when they put the 70 front on and the bike now steers quicker than it did and feels much more planted.

Well...i guess i just wanted to add a liittle more information. I am not planning on any track days in my near future, just a newbie cruising around town. Will there be any problems if i don't make any adjustments to my suspension? what are the main advantages/disadvantages of making the suspension changes. will i notice the difference? sorry guys i gotta learn somehow =)

Yes, you will notice it. Your turn-in will be considerably slower. I DEFINITLY noticed it anywho...

Takes no time at all to shim the rear ride height up.

If your just cruisin' around town you will notice but it won't be to bad since you won't be pushing the bike. I try to hit a curvy road every I time I ride my bike, so the getting the supsension right is KEY.
