Tbowdre: I have always had the same thing with my tires until an old gray haired racer told me that its due to not enough weight on the front tire. He said to do one or all of a few things 1. increase rear preload 2. decrease front preload. 3. raise the forks in the triple clamps .
This is assuming you have the right spring rates in the forks and shock.
So since you said you are 160lb and high in the front, Ill bet this might work for you.
My tires balanced right out by raising the forks. But I have both ends revalved and sprung for my weight. |

These are known as "maturity margins" as you get over 50 years old. I try to not be too mature. |

Jim, I'm sure your license will be good. Sounds like something to look forward to!
Dup, I like your maturity margins, I'm 60. |

I am only 160# with gear and have had a tough time setting my sag. im still riding a little high in the front
Just wait till you turn 40  Sag will become a different issue and you'll need duct tape to "ride high in the front"  |
