Thanks for telling that story, FattRat. I've been giving a lot of thought to changing the suspension on mine. Trouble is, I don't have any of the mechanical skills of so many people on this forum, so I'm 100% dependent on the company who sells me the gear and the mechanics who install it.
I fact, I talked to my brother about it a while back, and he gave me very similar advice to what Chuck says. He says that I need to use the bike for a good long time under all conditions and with all kinds of riding, and make sure that I've run right through all the suspension settings, before I start making expensive changes. It was good advice.
It happens that in my city, the road surface is extremely poor in some parts of town, so you need suspension that is a lot softer than I would like. (I think that's why they chose it as the starting point for the Dakar Rally this year ;-) ).
