Any recommedations beyond the owners manual to set the bike up better for a 250lb rider? I know getting resprung is the ultimate answer, but maybe folks have fiddled with some of the settings and have some decent recommedations in the interim?
That said, any recommendations where to purchase a springs for a Dorso?
I've got Traxxion locally, but was just curious.
I'm slightly lighter. About 240lbs
I've compressed my rear spring down from 175mm to 167mm. It a little firm but it cured the understeer. Up the rebound 3 or 4 clicks from standard. Front forks I've dropped through to 3 rings showing. Rebound as standard.
I don't really have a problem with the front end but gut feeling is the rear is a little too hard with the compressed spring.
Some have reported the Hyperpro progressive spring works well, not tried it myself but seems a reasonable price.

I adjusted SAG to be ~40mm on front and ~45 on the back and droped front fork that 2 ring can bee seen. Rebound is 1.5 turn open with 7.5W oil. Some of the people here think that front springs are to soft. I found them to be stiff and my preload is showing 3 notches with my weight of ~95kg to have 40mm of SAG. Ideal SAG setting would be 1/3 of suspension travel what in this case is 160mm so the SAG would be ~53mm. Tried that and it is very comfortable on bumpy roads but to soft for faster/harder riding.
