Doug,
I'm guessing you didn't notice this in Joel's original post:
"I'm already aware of the obvious 'raise the forks' and I think one can
rotate the rear hub in the swingarm to drop the rear a little..."

You're right...my mistake! Sorry to take up bandwidth with the obvious!
:- (
My bike was setup with the rear lowered from the dealer (by mistake I
assume). I was dragging the center stand on hard cornering in the mountains and a
lister recommended that I rotate the rear hub to see if it raised the
rear...which it did. I noticed no unusual chain wear with it in the lower position
for 15K miles.
