Is this how it has always been or are you saying it is only recently?

Its a bike with a high C of G with a rear shock that over heats which will reduce damping effect.
Pay the sterling and get it set up for you. I dont know of any suspension gurus in your area though. Sorry mate.
Maybe Sam could throw you some settings as he does f-ing well racing the TLS

Like Andy & rest of guys say.............. dump the rotary-dumper for Ohlins/Bitubo/Penske etc etc and put heavier rate springs (Tiller?) in the front and then get all the sags and so on set-up by somebody who REALLY knows what they're doing

 I haven't had mine setup yet, but both front and rear have been altered or swapped out and the difference is day and night. Sags front and rear are close enough for me and the ride is so much sweeter.
