Hi people! I’ve been sifting through old posts trying to find a basic measurement. Does anyone remember the STOCK fork height above the triple of a first generation bike? I thought it was around 18mm, but then I read in one of the racing groups on Facebook that it was 15 above the triple? I’m trying to sort out my geometry (Again) with some changes.
TL/DR: does anyone remember the STOCK fork tube measurement above the triple (not including fork cap) for a first gen bike? Alternatively, does anyone have a STOCK first gen clip on they can measure the clamping surface area or maybe a partially disassembled bike that can measure fork height on?
current set up that pertains to this post:
110/70/17 Rs10 front
140/70/17 RS10 rear
first gen 2016
ohlins Nix-22 up front set up correct for my weight (150 pound rider)
vortex above triple clip ons
ohlins ya467 rear

I’ve done a lot of experimenting on different set ups and can’t quite find what I want on track. the bike turns in fine most of the time. Feels like on some of the hairpins it almost literally wants to fall over. There is one particular hair pin that had me going from ~80kph to ~55ish going right and I feel like I’m either going too slow and the bike wants to fall down, or perhaps the geometry is just making it tip in too fast. Thanks in advance!
