Pitster X2 Questions

[MotoXT]

I've had an X2 for about a year but am just starting to put more time on it. I find the suspension way too stiff. I'm 170lbs w/o gear. The stock shock spring is a 1,200#. Any recomendations as to what spring rate I should be running?

Also, I'm looking for a tall seat and lowered pegs, so any advice there as well.

Last but not least, how are the Staggs forks to work on? I'd like to change the oil and play around with different heights.

Thanks for any help.
