Yup. As in lightweight riders with too stiff a spring on the rear suspension. Shockingly, motorcycles are not designed for women.

For anyone else who IS having this problem, I have made some calls and found out the following:

For $903 plus the cost of outsourced adapter rings, Ohlins can provide an adjustable rear shock with a .70 spring (made for 250 but wil fit 300)

For $925, Penske shocks will custom make one with the correct spring based on your weight. (based on the 250)

For I found one that *might* fit from Progressive suspension for $349, but have not heard back from them about the adjustability of this suspension model.

I have not ordered anything yet, so anyone who has tried one of these brands or others on this bike, please let me know how it's working out...

I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that a properly functioning bike is giving you these problems. I would take it in to get looked at.
