Im big 230 lbs. On stock suspension mine would bottom out the front quite often. Stiffer fork springs and 15 wt fork oil made a world of difference. That being said, I can tell you .95 springs are a bit too harsh on the street at my weight. Stock is a .65 spring rate.

The best mod to a stock bike is richening up the idle mixture. It maked the low end much more zippy. Unfortunately you need to pull the carbs off to drill out the idle mixture plugs and thats quite a bit of work. Maybe if you had a tiny dentists style drill you could do it with carbs on the bike? If you ever do pull the carbs, swap out the bowl screws and diaphragm screws for allen head socket head screws.
