My 2002 le mans suspension always feels stiff on bumpy roads. feed back through the handlebars and seat is always far more harsh than my ducati with ohlins fitted. i have settings at fairly soft but still dont have the same comfort as the ducati. does anyone have any ideas or experience in addressing this issue?

Like most bikes, they come with pretty ordinary suspension, as you say, even on the softest setting, they are still not very comfortable. Most standard bike suspension is set up for a heavy person solo, or to carry a pillion passenger and luggage. The only suggestion is to customise your suspension. Ohlins are one of the best for the rear, or Koni. For the front, some new springs of a brand name, and good fork oil, with the correct amount of oil in each leg, mabey a little less if you want it softer.
Hope this helps.
