I've looked at places that felt like I bottomed out, only to see a small imperfection in the road. Wonder if it's the Dunlop Enasaves? I like them otherwise, and they are great on smooth roads.
Thanks.
It's not just you, the suspension is way too soft for my liking and the stock Tokico's provide minimal dampening and rebound control. It's been expressed that the suspension was designed for developing countries with poorer roads than Europe, USA, Australia. Whether that's true I don't know but it makes sense.
