i think just stick the settings back to where they were and see how you like it Cath.
then if it feels like Daves belly while cornering, change some stuff then

Is the 70 profile front tyre a partner to the rear tyre currently on the bike? If not, it may be the mismatched shape of the front-rear causing the nervousness in the handling? If they are part of a matched set, it sounds like the other suspension changes could be the culprit.
I know my bike is a lot older, but when I went from the 60 profile to 70 on the front (including raising the forks through the trees) it turned quicker and felt better at the same time.

It is a matched set.
I think I might set the suspension back to what it used to be, and maybe try suspension games again once I go back to my usual fave tyres...
And Billy - I missed your post somehow. Just read it and I'm pissing myself laughing. You're a cheeky bugger!
