recently bought a tlr fantastic bike and much smoother than the tls i owned previously,however the suspension is way to soft both front/rear. i do a lot of 2 up riding.im not an aggresive rider but occasionally i push hard and really do find it a struggle compared to other bikes ive rode. im not prepared to fork out 4 ohlins b 4 anybody says i should basically is it worth taking it to a ride in ride out place that sets your suspension up? can the rear rotery damper b stripped and refilled with fresh oil? my bike is showing 23,000 miles. its a bike that i wont get rid off but it def needs sorting out  |

I had my suspension rebuilt by K-Tech, which gave a noticeable improvement in damping quality, very much so on the rear. (The forks were pretty spot on anyway).
If it's for 2 up riding, just increase the preload and see what feels good. When I take the gf on the back I wind the preload up from 3 to about 5~6. ____________________
