I just noticed that you lowered the front as well as the rear. I just have the rear lowered and it works fine. Try just putting the front back to where it was and maybe that will resolve your problem.

Won't that throw out the balance of the bike and effect the handling somewhat. I was under the impression that you had to keep the whole thing level. eg. rear down 1 inch, front down 1 inch otherwise the handling gets all weird.

No mine is absolutely fine . No difference from stock at all. My dealer said they only recommend lowering the front if you go 2 or more inches.

Took the bike to my dealer this morning and no one there could get it on the stand. Like Judd said they said put the front back to the original position (they offered to do it, but i didn't have the time) and it should be ok then. So, I will do that first tomorrow and see how we go.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, it just goes to show what a great bunch of people are on this forum. :) :) :)
