Welcome to the site mate. Try not stopping. Always worked for me when I struggled to touch the ground.

Hi There...
Softer springs, lowering the Front end through the forks and reducing rear ride height are all options but need to be carried out CORRECTLY or you could end up making your ride much worse...
Maybe try John at Alpha Suspension (leeds)

Welcome to the site mate. Try not stopping. Always worked for me when I struggled to touch the ground. What he says I'm the same, I need to be careful where I put my feet down. Riding plans become more important, always give yourself plenty room in front so if traffic slows you have a buffer. Choose carefully where you put your feet, normal safety position is left foot down with right foot covering the brake which makes hill starts and slow control a little easier. Sometimes though if the camber is going away from you it's safer to put your right foot down. If you need to stop, decide which foot you're putting down in advance, and, as you come to a stop put in a touch of countersteer away from the foot you want to put down which will tip the bike nicely in the direction you want.
