mtothef: Glad to see we got nearly the same numbers. I think the 5.2 is right on for our weight. I am measuring from the center of the rear axle hole to the point at the rear tip of the number plate. I'll call it the white "tip" of the number plate decal directly above the rear axle.
This is the first bike where I didn't have to run out and buy a spring. On my KTM 450 I had to go from a stock 8.0 to an 8.8 or the bike wouldn't ride right.
I think the 110 mm setting makes the bike turn even better than stock and still retains stability for the fast straights. I have my forks set in between the first and second line on the top triple clamps.
If I really had to pick on the suspension, I would say that the forks are a bit harsh on fast hard packed braking bumps as I am entering a corner. The bars tend to shake a bit but it doesn't upset the bike really that much if you are holding onto it.
