Use zip-tie on fork-tube to see if you’re bottoming forks. Sudden impact at end of travel can certainly be harsh. If that's case, you'll want to get stiffer springs to prevent bottoming forks. And matching stiffer oil.

I ride my CBR600RR with track suspension all the time in SF and it handles terrain well. Although I prefer my newgen or newgen 250 better due to lighter weight and more maneuverability. Newgen with stiffer frame and suspension definitely sends through more bumps. On all three bikes, I do have to swerve and zigzag lots to avoid potholes and construction debris. I try to go around anything that’s not perfectly smooth; sometimes I use sidewalk.
