    I would suggest swapping out the rear shock and replacing the front springs with racetech springs an cartridge emulators.

      How much do you weigh? The stock Kats are very soft in regards to the suspension.

      Unless someone changed something inside the forks it should be smooth.

      Does it pogo when you are going down the road?

        i weight 154 pounds not that heavy at all.but it feels like the forks have no rebound and i feel every little bump.and it does have a small hard bounce while i ride every little imperfection in the road i feel it.it does kinda pogo up and down

          I wouldn't go any softer than they come. Rebuild with fresh seals and oil up front, and maybe hunt down a late-model shock for the rear to get your damping back.
