When i got my bike the PO had said he had set it up for his weight and height and lowered the rear so he 'could get on it sooner out of corners'. I had noticed it was harder to muscle back and forth than I anticipated.
I spent some coin on Carbon Fiber wheels, and that has helped drastically. Now i have the best of both worlds, its not jacked up in the back and it turns like butta'. For what its worth.

Well, as much as I'd love to, I'm not quite in the position to pick up some BSTs. I'll keep working on the suspension before I crack open my piggy bank. I did get around to setting up the fork rates correctly and it definitely helps. Still got a little ways to go though

mine would run wide on turns until i finely raised the rear abit, good rubber and proper air pressure seems to make the duc what it should be. a much better bike

I raised my SPS aswell. That combined with proper sag and reduced rebound rear made it handle like a dream.

The rear is ~20mm higher on the rideheight adjuster (roughly 2 full turns longer on the stock unit).
