Front suspension?
#69
I weigh over 200 lbs and the solution was to get new shocks correctly sized for my weight.

I got fully adjustable Ohlins for the rear and just added adjustable Ohlins fork kits to the front. I have since become aware I really should have also replaced the front fork springs because I have had to preload them as far as they will go and are still just slightly under-sprung for sag.

I realize getting the Ohlins is overkill for normal street riding but I have been making performance upgrades on it for sport riding.

Just getting the shocks on the bike made an incredible difference over the stock but it wasn't until I get them correctly setup did I realize what was possible. It's an entirely different bike. But slight changes in settings seemed to make a big difference between bouncing and absorbing the bumps.
