Here is my view of it. If your car rides like crap, you change something, usually shocks. Your bike is very light and when you get on it, it changes the total weight by a lot. Bikes are sprung to cover 90% of people riding them. That means it's they are set up to ride on the street for basically the widest range of riders. That means it is not set up to ride on the track at the upper end of its performance envelope for anyone.

Magazine settings are good for that bike at that track for that rider. Just springing the bike is a 1st step, If you are going that far you might as well do the whole job.

A bike with correct suspension will move around LESS. The reaction of that is that the bike FEELS SLOWER. So what would your reaction be? RIDE FASTER!
