So I am seeking opinions as to whether I should tweak that suspension or not. I use the bike for daily commute and loaded solo adventures.

I fitted Heavier front springs,
Teknik V4S valve and modified the damper rod to suit the V4S valves. I also fitted a heavier rear shock spring and had Teknik revalve the shock to suit the heavier shock spring. With these mods done the bike is completely different to ride and it now is how it should have been from the factory. The heavier springs are for my weight as recommended by Teknik. I first rode the bike with the heavier rear shock spring but the shock was not revalved and the damping was not enough to control the heavier spring, I then sent the shock to Teknik to be revalved and the result was a shock that controls the spring correctly and a bike that handles extremely well.
