I would suggest you have Les, Steve, or another compenent tuner lower the bike with travel limiters at both ends and correctly balance it. Lowering just the rear with the guard is the kiss of death to confidence in the front end. Plus, the ratio change makes the initial travel stiffer. I really think the adjustable feature was never thought out for a Beta and just a KTM legacy part of the design. The bike is not a GasGas with a heavy front end, it sticks and turns well but you can't be sloppy with setup.
All you do is soften the compression a few clicks to make up for the initial stiffness. No need to send out to a tuner unless you're looking to revalve. As long as the front is lowered to match the rear, sag and clickers set, it has the same exact geometry and perfectly balanced as the stock bike. No sloppiness if you take your time and test it on the trails. Keep in mind we are not talking a huge difference here. IMHO there is no need
send your suspension across the country for a revalve and tune for every little adjustment. Hell I'm still testing different adjustments on mine. Tires, pressures and clicker combinations galore to play with.
