Handling Issue

I running the stock tires and suspension settings with 1000 miles on it so far. The problem is when entering a turn and braking slightly, the bike has a tendency to stand up straight. I think this is called trail braking while entering a turn.

So will changing the tires cure the problem or do I have to do some adjustments to the suspension. I think I may have to raise the rear height.

Thanks for your input.

I don't think raising the rear would be too much of a help. Someone will chime in that's good with that stuff.

here's a good thread that has to do with tuning suspension.
