Buzzing GPz follow up..

[David Beard]

I too made this adjustment on Saturday. Didn't seem to be too far off 
and I didn't notice any initial change in the way the bike felt. Rode to 
a car show Saturday evening and didn't have any "tingly digit" syndrome 
at all. Will take some additional riding to confirm, but I believe it 
may have made a difference.
