I personally think it’s the one thing worth upgrading if nothing else. The current shocks have no adjustment. The handlingis great but the ride is not that good. I will upgrade front and rear.Interested in seeing what's out there. I'm going to ride mine as for awhile, and see how it handle my 230lb butt.
I did the "Migolito Mod" on mine, Lifting and turning the lower collar for a bit more pre-load. Probably all the suspension work I'll do.

With the bike strapped down on the lift table, I just muscled them up and gave them a twist, no tools involved. It's not a huge improvement, but worth doing in my opinion. For my use the stock suspension is just fine. Migolito thought it up and it made sense, so I stole the idea and ran with it.What is involved? Just a set of vice grips and muscle?

Same here. Usually stock suspensions work for me, which is good because suspension parts are usually pricey. The rear seems ok, but the few miles I have gravel so far make me think the front might need an upgrade at some point.Interested in seeing what's out there.

Was thinking the same thing. Ohlin makes a set for this bike at $750 a pair. I have 3K+ on mine and I definitely want to upgrade suspension and Ohlins are legit, but damn--$750 for a $4k bike.

I just passed 3000 miles and having a blast! Most fun bike I have owned.Based on my 90% Slab riding, even with my heavy adv luggage, the suspension is just fine. However, when I did the dirt WITH my Adv luggage, it definately could use an upgrade.
BTW, for those keeping up on our banter; This little bike with absolutely ZERO modification (kept in stock form) is freakin great!! Seriously, buy it and ride the hell out of it and you will have bugs in your teeth. Don't let our 'modifications' dissuade you from getting this bike.
