Tuono V4 APRC Suspension Fix?

Just finished running my APRC Tuono V4....Incredibly quick and powerful bike needless to say but very harsh suspension for real world riding comapared to the plush-but-firm suspension on my old Ohlins equipped RSV-R twin...... Sachs suspension, dialled all the way back and it's still nearly breaking my wrists every time I hit an un-expected bump... so in the real world of Irish back roads I need a fix.

Do I get inserts/springs for the Sachs or just dig deep and buy a set of Ohlins front forks and a TTX shock?? Anyone tried the Ohlins inserts for the Sachs?

For our roads it's a pretty but flawed package otherwise sadly !
 
I am no expert but I always like to try the cost effective (cheap) things first :-

Can the amount of oil reduced in each for leg ? - an easy one to test, a bit at a time.

Or can the fork oil be replaced with something a bit "thinner" (lower viscosity) ? - not too expensive, if you know whats in there now.
 
Good thinking, and worth a try...the Sachs stuff looks top notch too.....Im getting the full travel alright and perhaps some lighter oil or even springs before going mad on Ohlins!
