Harry.....Good-Luck on the trip...sounds like a blast. Problem is, I dont think ANY of us have wives that weigh only 125!! So we can't help ya on the suspension settings, but I wouldn't leave  'em at stock, definately crank up the pre-load!! The facory tends to deliver them on the light/lean side.

Have a T/Red 2002, 18k miles ( about 30k klm ) I'm soon heading off on
a +5000 klm trip from Sydney to Tasmania, tour the island for 7 days 
then back to Melbourne (by ferry)) Great Ocean Road, long way back -
taking another 7 days to Sydney. Some of the best touring country on
this planet (IMHO)
I will be taking my wife who weighs in about 130 lbs, I'm about 160 lbs
plus a tank bag and two bags on the rear rack - total about another 40
lbs of baggage. Some questions:
1/. Any similar weighted riders, what suspension settings for mid to 
agressive riding style. Lots of twisties on this trip.
2/. First long two up trip on this bike - any other mechanical tips, 
bike is in great shape and has been serviced regularly. 

I'll see if I can get some pics and make them available.

Cheers / Harry..
