When I first bought mine in 2001 I experienced a similar problem.
I'm also 6ft with long legs.
I tried altering handlebar position, but I have to admit I didn't try the rear suspension.
In any event I found that the seat sloping towards the tank was the issue, so I altered the seat so it rose up at the tank.
I don't know whether it will work for you, but it did for me.
If the picture comes out (below) look at the seat as it rises up at the tank.
