I was going by Post #15 where he said -

"... the forks do seem a little soft for someone 195lbs."

The stock springs are going to be way too soft for a 195# rider I'm pretty sure, especially if he does any amount of "sporty" riding. Getting the correct rate for his weight and riding style will make the front much more predictable and confidence-inspiring.

Then there's the rear...
