140 / 160 / tapered fork on '08 575

I'm looking at upgrading my fork on my '08 575 (first year hydroformed top tube) - currently running a 1 1/8" Vanilla RL 140. Can I run a tapered steerer tube fork on this frame? The Yeti Manual for the '08 / '09 frame lists geometry for a 140 and a 160 fork, so I'm looking into increasing my travel along with a tweak in geometry.

No you can't . It's 1 1/8th straight steerer only I'm afraid.

Thanks Andrew - I feared as much...
