    you can stiffen up the front by putting a spacer on top of the spring
    a piece of steel tube of suitable diameter will do the job
    if its very soft now maybe start with a tube about 50mm long

    the rear shock may have a threaded ring to adjust the preload
    in which case just screw it up
    if no adjuster then you can make a spacer
    but you will need a lathe to make it
    or go to a wrecker and try to find a stiffer spring

    Also check your rear shock and see if it has a place to add air. You will need a special pump to get the right pressure.

    The oil you need is called "fork oil". Try 10 weight and if it still feels too soft go to 20 weight.

    Cheers!

    The rear shock it's simple don't have any adjuster or a place to add air.

    But thw front fork oil it's all about weight? Don't have any specification for this bike?
