Yeah, rear profile makes a big difference, I would have thought that a larger profile than standard (which the 200/55 is) would have quickened turn in, but still felt slow, compared to my last bike anyway. I have set the forks with 7mm showing above the top yoke now, yet to test this out though!
might be the front tyre i think the bridgstone s20 fronts were a bit slow tipping in when they first came out , i think it's normal to drop the yokes 5mm after that it gets twitchy but people have gone lower
Those 4xv's are a lovely bike , they share a lot of parts with the 5jj like frame, wheels & engines are similar , things that are different are ECU , bodywork i.e. tank , fairing , seat unit & headlight also the radiator & wiring looms are different .
Check the main 20pin white plug on the wiring loom that sits behind the left hand fairing to make sure its in good order & been greased as these can cause problems , the HT leads can break up when old where the plug cap screws on & cause misfire all you need to do is cut 5-10 mm off the end & screw the cap back on , also DON'T tighten the sump bolt up to 42nm its a lot less more like 15-20nm .
get the service manuals and parts micro fiches for both the 4xv & 5jj downloaded , use the online PDF link & down load the parts manuals from there .
