Who in here is running their XB on the most aggressive suspension settings? What are your thoughts on this?

At 3000 miles, I replaced my Dunlops 207's with Michelin Pilot Power tires, and at the same time, I changed my suspension settings to the "aggressive" position for my weight.
The results seem all positive at this point. The bike is much easier to steer, goes into a corner easier, feels planted, easier to add lean angle when a corner tightens. On the other hand, the ride is a bit stiffer but not objectionably so.
Recommended.

i went with the aggressive settings and ive only been riding for 1 year. I immediately noticed that the bike feels much more planted and im loving it.
