I'm not the tallest guy out there so backing it up uphill can be a challenge lol.
I was worried about rolling it back uphill that's y I had them lower it just an inch. I can still sit flat footed, and the handling is so much better!!! According to the mechanic, it was lowered 3 and half inches and it was done wrong as the front wheel an the rear wasn't leveled which caused the handling mishap..

Now the bike settles into turns beautifully, I replaced the tires with Michelin power 3 and rode in the rain yesterday, no slippage whatsoever. I'm loving the bike..

The only downside is that it makes my 250 feels like crap when I switch to the 250.

Will post new pics soon after I clean and detail her tomorrow
