Compression / Rebound Dampening

I took my new to me 02 out for a 200 mile run here in sunny Northern California with my 999 and 998 buddies. What fun but I do believe my compression / rebound dampening may be on a the harsh side of things as the front forks feel just a bit slow. I'm 190 pounds with all equipment and run Power Race rubber.

The bike is great on high speed sweepers and smooth twisties but gives you a jolt in the bars if the pavement becomes uneven in the Canyons. How soft are you guys running your settings on the stock forks.

Love this bike but would never sell one to an inexperienced rider as the track characteristics of the bike make high speed riding way too easy......Chal
