Ok, suspension is getting better.

Here's my setup: (115kg in gear)

Front:
Spring: 4.5 N/mm, std preload(next to nothing)
Oil level: 140mm, stock oil. (what weight is it?)
rebound clicks: 11 out
comp clicks: 8 out

rear:
Spring: 60 N/mm, 8 mm preload
Rebound clicks: 4 out
low comp(center adjuster): 3 out
high comp(big knob): 6 out

With this setup it has got a really stable and planted feel going fast over choppy ground. However, as testing progressed in the heavy rain, the bike again got that harsh fork action. My thinking is that I am coming down too far in the stroke, a soaking wet rider does tend to weigh a little more than a dry one, and also the mud buildup added to this?

Any thoughts on this? Stiffer springs or more preload?
