UPDATE: A commentor on this video found a shop to have his shocks addressed:

For those following my suspension journey, let me update you on where I'm at in under 5 minutes. *Valving was redone and a Hyperco springs (For my 200lbs, I used springs with these specs: 5"x 2.25" x 300 lbs) to replace the stock tender springs.
You are warned in the intro, if you're happy with your suspensions and disagree, no need to dislike (though I know some wont resist the temptation to watch and dislike even if you never even tried the XE), you can just move on to other videos that say how perfect this bike is :) What frustrates me most is I love the bike, but every time I ride for over a hundred kilometers, I'm reminded how unnecessarily harsh the ride is.
And yes some of you might have noticed the gear indicator is dead, along with the cruise control and the capability to start the bike in neutral while the kickstand is out. I have an appointment soon at the dealer to have this along with the radiator hose and USB compartment fixed....off to a "rough" start with this bike.

Thanks!
Latest update: Got rid of the bike and bought an Africa Twin, no bike is perfect but I'm MUCH happier and will be keeping this bike at least 3 years (which is a personal record).
