I'm pretty light so the springs were too stiff for my weight, it did not absorb anything, yet at the same time the forks had too much brake dive (felt like they were low on oil), they seemed to have too much stiction as well, did not feel good no matter what settings I tried, and the shock felt like it had lost all of its damping due to heat exposure from the exhaust, which several other people on the Aprilia board have complained about too. At the time I also had an R6 and I liked it better so I sold the Aprilia.
