Given that everything you are doing to make it feel better is actually going against the theoretical ideal - backed-up by our sag findings - I suspect that you are fighting the design of the bike.

My experience with the GS range is the same. They feel like cruisers not MXers or sprotbikes. The front is all the way out there, doing its own thing, with a big disconnect to the rider, comparatively. Long-term GS riders probably get used to it, and develop a feel for it.

I hired an R1150GS for 10 days a few years ago; it was enough to put me right off them (that wasn't the only issue though).
