Boxxer Team forks spring change?

Hi
I recently bought a Saracen Myst pro 2012 which has the Boxxer Team up front. On riding it yesterday, even when the compression was set to its hardest, I was using virtually all the fork's travel despite not riding fast or hard at all.
Looking at the charts I would need the black spring (xfirm) as I'm over 90kg in weight. Do the vast majority of Boxxers that come with new bikes carry the red spring? I'm presuming mine does and that's why it seems so soft.
And presumably replacing with the black spring would be the right thing to do?
Thanks for any advice.
