A new phenomenon discovered recently. On my way back from work there's a corner which, if I keep it in 2nd with reasonably high revs, as I'm coming out of the corner and gas it the front wheel lifts a little whilst still leant over a bit.

It's quite a brown underpants moment as the handlebars shake a little but boy does it feel good.

Try upping the pre-load setting on the rear. Works wonders.

See, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it . . .
