I would ride it as is and then if things break or wear replace them as needed.
I have a friend that goes Mountain biking with us on an old Supercycle MTN bike and he has a blast, and we're all waiting for it to break but its holding up well for a bike that was like $200 haha (taxes in)

I personally am going to be swaping out my Rock Shox when I track down a Bontrager carbon blade fork, going back to no suspension.

Although I do miss my AMP it was great.

I stuck a marzochi DJ3 fork on a crappy dual suspension bike, and the rear suspension became SO apparent! every time i pushed a pedal it would just compress.

I rode my brothers crappy Raleigh Tora on a 42km backcountry ride loaded with a tent, sleeping bag, and a bunch of other crap, then camped and biked out the next day. Even with deep mud on one damn trail (about 2km of knee deep mud we had to walk.. &%#$!!! ), and a bunch of water crossings, it faired quite well.

Crank the rear suspension spring as tight as it will go, and maybe search ebay for a cheap but decent fork. (dont buy a long travel one though)

At first I was wondering why the heck are you thinking a motorcycle is a mountain bike! I googled it, and its probly just a spring in that fork.
