has anyone change the fork spring for a better ride

I'll second that!  Had a hard enough time without any additional pre-load.  Gave up trying with an open-ended wrench and had to buy a 27mm socket to force the cap down while keeping it aligned so the fine threads would catch.

Yeah.  The socket is the way to go.  I did it the other way a couple times, but under the handlebars makes it just that much more difficult...I think a 1 1/16" socket works too.
