Suspension tuning, which way to jump?

Keeping the throttle steady?

I accelerate HARD mid corner and never have a problem. Closing the throttle mid lean will cause problems on any bike.

If you feel your Griso is unstable while accellerating in a lean, I would say that something isnt set up right. I ride this just like my FZR1000 and havent had a problem with stability at all since I set up the suspension.

i feel my griso is well good ,i did not explain very well :)
 
GH - dumb question, but the manual doesn't describe it very well. Is this as simple as loosening the allen screws in the top and bottom of the yokes and pushing the forks higher before retightening?

Thanks.
 
It is, but don't forget to put a jack or steady prop under the engine, and hold the rest of the bike up in some way.

I don't have a gucci Guzzi stand, so I use an axle stand and a scissor jack, one under each side of the footpeg mounts, and then a trolley jack under the engine. Mind the oil filter under there.

I would make sure you lift the engine so the front wheel is JUST off the floor and go from there. Personally, I didnt even remove the front wheel or even the brake calipers.
 
And if you do that be sure NOT to over tighten the triple clamps on the fork tubes, especially the lower ones. They do not require much torque.
