yeah, I read about highway issues as well but so far I tested it up to 100 km/h and no issues there. Also what surprised me some bikes like Triumph Tiger have very steep rake from factory, 23.7 degree and no reports about lack of stability.
More like sport bikes actually, so I don't think so decreasing yamaha factory 28 degrees a bit will be a problem in any conditions. Even bmw F800GS has 26 degrees rake, probably that's why feels more nimble then tenere. Regarding the preload, I have progressive springs on my xt and it works best with minimum settings.
