Perhaps there are others issues such as low tire pressure or wheel alignment that are impacting the handling. For example, running the recommended 15 psi front tire pressure allows a lot of movement in the outside tire when cornering.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The whole thing is of course subjective. I found the difference was very noticeable.
Before the F3 almost felt like it was going to fall over if you turned in hard. I know it wasn't going to, but the excessive lean took away confidence and as a result I would go slower. The new sway bar gives flatter cornering, instilling more confidence, ergo I now corner faster.
As I also stated above some of this could be coming from the new rear shock as other owners have reported improved cornering after fitting. Overall it's like a totally new experience to ride and feels like it should have done out of the factory.
I did also lower the front pressures back down to 20 PSI as I was getting a lot of 'bobble' with them at 25, post sway bar upgrade. I put them to 25 to try and get rid of the sloppy front end but that's not needed now. 20 seems about right now.
Of course I'm now on the slippery slope and eyeing up some of the Fox 1.5 front shocks that I've seen for a good price...........
