Using a different spring, and turning in or out the power valve screw really transforms the bike. At least it does on my 2015 300. Adjusting the screw is a matter of seconds, and changing the spring is a matter of minutes. You may want to start there.

Yesterday I wanted to know which spring it has in it. Whomever was last to tighten the bolts must have been a gorilla. I stopped for fear of snapping the bolts. Maybe I'll torch the case a little and get a nice Magnesium fire going.

This old bike is running so well I busted the shock. Anyone have a local resource for rebuilding WP shocks? Columbia area. Rebuild kits are $100, but I don't think I have the skills for shock rebuilds.
