Great content dave I had a problem with my cbr1000rr would turn and dive really fast into a corner which was a bit unnerving set sag comp an rebound nothing worked then I tried raising the forks through the triple clamps 3mm as you have shown and volia!
I have a motorcycle that turns when. I want it too and on a nicer radius with steering input that I’m not fighting anymore
Ps thanks for the nod on tyres nice touch

One of the best explanation on the internet, firstly tuning sag and damper, if sag is perfect you can still tune fork position for turn in.
If your not perfect for sag but close being either slightly soft or stiff after a first test ride checking travel, you may use geometry to correct turn if on a budget for internals such as a spring.
Great explanation on the buffer!

I use a similar method for compression damper.
10mm from bottom out after firstly adjustment for sag and or pace is an indication also to add compression without looking at tyre wear.

At 5min, did you measure on the inside of the left fork gap, but earlier you measured on the outside of the right fork gap?
