My problem is that I enjoy pratting around with the bike as much as I do ridding it! Bitza.
Yes I have had a similar experience when a few years ago I had my forks done by Maxton, had my Nitron shock fully serviced with a new (slightly heavier) spring and swapped from Pirelli's to Michelin tyres.

The suspension felt amazing but the tyres and as it turned out later, slightly knackered steering bearings (somewhat masked by the lighter steering Pirelli's) screwed up my light steering flickable Monster into feeling like I had an under inflated front tyre.

A change of bearings and another 10mm raised at the rear sorted it back to how I love it and all Italian loviness was restored.

I look forward to hearing your continued exploits come Spring time.
