I was just looking at a picture of my 350X and brrcuda's 250R.. I noticed that the front axles are positioned different,, mine is in the front of the fork tubes and brrcudas is on the back of the tubes. What are the advantages or dis-advantages of this if any? Or is it because of the weight differences between the 2 machines?

350x's are leading axle, 250rs are trailing. it increases the rake a little bit. r's were made for racing so you wanted less of a rake to make it more nible in a sense...

others will chime in
