I removed subframe, and sealed up airbox joints to help keep out all the PNW moisture.
I set shock spring preload @ 9mm, based on what I read on here. All clickers currently @ 20. It felt damn good,way better than the 8 years on my kx-f,and my short lived 11' race model. I suppose being so far out w/ clickers mean something,but for now i'll live with it. The bike sat fairly level, and pushing down was level too. I have not measure free/or race sag yet.
Steering damper installed too, since I didn't try bike without. I don't know what difference it made.
Those were the changes I made, and I have a few adjustments to make before next ride-shifter, cable routing, etc.
Thanks for the comments- I love the van too, even though it is a money pit.

I am in Seattle and have had several KTM`s but I am seriously thinking of GasGas. I was happy to see your write up. I am sure we have ridden with the same people.
