    Soft front suspension

    Only had my RSVR (2006) for a couple of weeks now and I am finding that the front suspension is quite soft when braking. I am a big guy (18 stone) and the rear feels fine, I would just like to stop the front dipping down too much when I come to a steady stop. How straight forward is this to do?
