SSR XF250 suspension

Hey y’all, I just purchased my ssr xf250 which is my first motorcycle ever. overall I love it besides just a few things. One mainly being the suspension. Im a bigger dude so the suspension is fairly soft for me. I tightened up the rear spring pre load and that helped but could still be better. So I need to know what exact size the rear set up is so I can buy a new one with a stronger spring rate. I’d like to get one with adjustable dampening as well. Also I tried adjusting the front forks with the flat head adjustment but I didn’t really notice much. I clicked the center one 15 turns to the right. How many turns can I go with it? Also I’ve seen the bottom screw is for an air bleeder maybe? I’ve also seen it’s for my rebound adjustment as well. Can anyone confirm this for me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome, and congratulations on the new bike. I have really enjoyed mine. If the front fork adjustments do anything it's hardly noticable. I noticed a heavier fork oil helped.
