I finally was able to ride my 2012 YZ125 back to back with my YZ250F and the first thing I noticed was the front wheel felt tucked back towards the frame. I had never really noticed it before but yesterday it was eye opening. Has anyone changed their clamps offset and it make a noticeable difference in feel?
I think it was in 2016 they made the head tube a little slacker, I bet its better too. You could probably have some special bearing races made up to adjust this on your bike.
Thanks!

All other things remaining the same, moving the rear wheel back would increase the amount of weight on the front wheel (as Teamgreen mentions above) therefore increasing twitchiness and front wheel traction in corners.
I guess wheelbase is lengthened though so maybe that's where the added stability comes from.
