suspension setup help please

[knesldr]

Well I changed to a taller tire in the back, and I raised the rear in addition. Now the rear constantly wants to slide, it is very loose, everytime I get on the gas, the bike turns, but the back has no tracktion at all. Im not getting headshake, so I dont think it is the ride highet.
I have an Ohlins tripple on the back, I adjusted the black knob on the bottom and the remote adjuster, trying stiffer, didnt help.

straight from my Fox twin clicker setup manual:

Here are a few examples of how changing the rear ride height can affect your motorcycle performance:
Symptom : Problem
Motorcycle is unstable at high speeds : Rear Ride Height too high
Poor grip from rear tire : Rear Ride Height too high
Unstable under heavy braking : Rear Ride Height too high
Motorcycle understeers on exit corners : Rear Ride Height too low
Difficult to change direction : Rear Ride Height too low
Poor grip on front tire on exit corners : Rear Ride Height too low

By changing to a taller tyre profile in the rear and raising the rear height, you've changed the chassis geometry of the bike dramatically.

Now the bike shifts weight to the front of the bike VERY quickly and doesn't give the rear enough traction.

What you've also done is effectively reduce the amount of trail your bike has which can have not-so-desirable steering and handling results.

Any reason why you did this? Randomly tinkering with suspension settings isn't the best way to improve your bike's handling.
