Yeah the guy who helped me with it said the suspension was $1200. I took that with a grain of salt, but it seems maybe he wasn't far off. I know nothing about the suspension, but he was able to adjust it just by using his hands which surprised me. I have tried to look up ohlin suspension online, but there are so many different and with my lack of knowledge it is kind of hard to tell what the price point would be.

look into the common electrical issue, fuse and relay corrosion, I got stuck with an 09 with 1300 miles with this issue(from dealer) costing me 2 batteries and relays. they had greased relays.
