Progressives help trememdously!

But to answer your question, don't add more fluid. Changing your fluid out for a heavier weight might help a little, but adding more (above the required amount) will blow your seals.

The stock springs are a cruel joke Suzuki played on their customers. Replace them with progressives as soon as possible. You will be sooooo happy. :mrgreen:
