Yeah, stiffer springs is one of the first thing I always do on a bike. I am not a 150 lb'er like most of the japanese bikes are set up for from the factory

No shit.. I had to change the preload on the rear shock from 4 to a 6 and the rebound from a 2 to a 3.

I am useless when it comes to adjusting my suspension...im not even big enough to move it unless its in motion or I get a running start...but last year the adjustments he made were like a whole new bike, it was AWESOME!!

I'm just dense.. 5'8" 30 inch waist 175lbs a few months ago. I haven't been to the gym as much as I would like the past few months so I've dropped to around 167.

One of my reasons for trying to get down a little extra early, i'd really like to get the suspension set up correctly.
