I finally changed the front fork oil to 10W and lowered the head stock 5 mm.
For the quick ride after I checked everything, it feels more balanced and settles into turns quicker with more grip while settling. It feels like you don't have to load up the front as much to get a similar turn result. I have to get used to braking without it lurching forward like granny's rocking chair. Braking feels like its crouched down a touch already, ready to go. Over speed humps there was no problem, just felt more settled, not hard, not pumping too fast. I left the rear shock as is, on 4, and it feels balanced for my weight, 88 kg last check.
Just a touch different from stock settings, and feels like a good improvement if you still like it a bit soft with better turning.
I worked out you have to lever a flathead on the lower fork clamps for the forks to slide out.
