Probably not. Unless you plan on keeping your Ten for a long time, the stock suspension is acceptable. The longer you plan on keeping it, the more sense it makes.

Hello Travelling Light (and others),
Just the other day I did a Balkan trip on my '08 tenere with standard stock/spring and hyperpro progressive springs on the front. My luggage weighted about 40 kg, including the panniers. With this this setup the shock damping (and handling of the bike) is terrible, the bike feels more like a crazy scrambler than a real motorbike :-)
When riding solo, without luggage, I consider the original shock as acceptable (but not more than that)
Can you (or others) share some experiences with me (us) about riding solo but with luggage after the Ohlins upgrade? I don't mind spending (a lot of) money to upgrade the rear shock of my Tenere but only if it's worth it.....
