Considering I haven't changed from the recommended starting settings for fork and Nitrons it felt pretty bloody good once I finally got the thing out of town and onto some tight, somer open and bumpy roads (albeit with with 80kph limits!). First change I'll do is soften the comp damping on the forks as it felt a tad harsh on some of those roads. Steering and stability are first class. The rear is pretty much 'unnoticeable' - rear tracks beautifully on all road surfaces and is very supple and compliant - that fwd lean angle on the shocks helps with that I'm sure.

Keep looking for Goldilocks: try too soft, too hard, you won’t know until you try 😁
I’ve got a horribly corrugated tight double ess on my test track, after a few laps I now can’t feel them 👍
 
Initial changes need to be big changes so you can clearly feel them. Once you are certain of the direction then start backing off or adding in bit by bit. It may take miles of riding over many different road conditions to get the ideal setup.
 
I was moving the rear shock bump stop down the shaft to show travel but it moved too easily so it's now got a cable tie.
 
The rear outlet hole in the muffler, white bike, looks huge. Are there a few different-size rear outlets over the years? Mine measures 30mm in dia.
