on rcs we can alter the ackerman characteristics of the steering system by altering the angle of the steering links relative to the imaginary line between the steering arm link points.

The closer to parallel the links are to the imaginary line between the steeling arm pivots, the less ackerman angle is induced during steering so a more aggressive feel is given to the steering (outer wheel closer to steering angle to the inner)

On the aforementioned RB6 pointing the rack backwards increases the angle of the steering links hence the steering calms down.

On the YZ2, because of the different rack style what I suspect happens is that by removing washers the angle of the links becomes shallower hence the steering more aggressive.

Ultimately it come down to the fact that the YZ2 has a different rack/steering system geometry to the Bmax/Rb6 hence why the same adjustment does have the same effect but its reversed...

This kinda goes along the lines of what most of the things I read yesterday said. If in doubt just make the change on your bench and you can tell by eye!
