Lifted the 12
I lifted the rear of the 12 of 13 mn exactly..
Unbeleivable how better it is now.
Quiker turn,better rear suspension reaction, Better seat position more relax ( that did surprise me a lot since it is higher )
More stable.
Not good if you are under 5.8 F

Hey, for anyone with a stock rear shock, Kaw got back to me with the part number for the shims:
Thank you for your e-mail to Kawasaki. While we do not have the
specifications, you can purchase the shims at a local dealer using part
number 92026-1586. If you would like to see this, please access
www.buyKawasaki, then "vehicle information," then "view parts diagrams,"
and proceed from there until you reach "battery case." Thank you.

I can see where lifting the rear will make it handle better and quicker. Not cetain about making it more stable? Quicker steering usually means more twitch if you will. I did the same thing to my RC51 and she turned tons better. Only had to raise it 4 mm.

Maybe it's because you are putting more of your weight forward now? If you were sitting too far back, your weight was actually unloading the front end. You didn't say specifically where the bike felt unstable, so I'm just guessing. But if the bike was, for instance, wagging it's head a bit coming out of a corner on the gas, that'd be an example of your weight moving back and changing the overall weight bias of the bike.
