IF you want it to steer in to turn quickly/sharper at a supermototrac you must tilt bike very much "forward". 8-)
I raise forks 3cm in trippleclamp and stiffen up shock to be set at 15mm unloaded and 85mm racesag.
This change offset,steeringangle and trail from a MX-setup to a okey SM-setup.
You should have a very slow return for your shock to get very stabil when braking and accelration.
More compression for shock too.You don?t want bike to powerwheelie to much.
And you should have backwheel as closet to engine as possible for shorter overall length.
This don?t make bike unstable at straight,only sharper turningability.

My whishlist now for frame is:
1.Changed trippleclamp offset from 20* to 18*maybe 16*
2.Shorted swingarm,about 3cm.(overall length adjusteble between 140-145cm)

Now have I tell you some KX500 supermotosecrets,don?t spread it to much! :-D
