The reason I suggested you first try making adjustments to the damping was that you said that he springs felt firm to you, though you admitted you're not experienced with suspension. Unfazed says the stock R1 springs are considered by most owners to be too soft so it may be possible that your forks have upgraded springs already, unless you know for sure that they are stock. Having said that there is no arguing with 5LV that the GEN1 is heavier than the R1, which is why the stock R1 settings will not be working for you and why you will need to adjust the damping. I'd suggest to confirm if the springs are too soft that you check rider sag i.e how much fork travel is taken up when you are sat on the bike.
