So, I fell twice on Sunday...
I could not sleep and started googling "How not to suck while riding"... Watched a video on youtube where the guy suggested a few things, most of them I knew, like the weight on outside peg etc. But under the bike setup, he suggested that if you are shorter than 6'4 there is no need for handlebar raisers as you put to much weight on the back wheel. I have raisers and only 6'1 tall. The other problem I have is that the front feels VERY loose at speeds over 90km/h, I spoke to a real-life person (not google) and he suggested that I first before buying steering damper, upgrade my back spring as I am too heavy for the standard 500exc spring setup.
So two questions:
Raisers, yes/no?
Could the back shock/spring really make a bigger impact on front wheel stability than a damper?
