Default XB12 handling change?
Looking for any info regarding any changes made to the 05 XB12 geometry to make it less responsive than the 04 model was. Seems to me there were some complaints in 04 and maybe a little trail was added to the 05 model.

I have a 04 XB12S and never thought there was anything wrong with how it handles. IIRC, complaining was mostly from people who were too big and heavy to be on that little, short wheelbase bike to begin with?

edit: From what I've been able to find, both years have the 43mm forks, but different triple tree part numbers, so maybe something to it?
