I don't know if it makes any difference, but I totally forgot to mention that I'm on a brand new 2016 Ninja 300, not a 250. Stock tires, shock, etc. I've removed some weight from the bike with aluminum fittings, exhaust hanger / passenger peg delete, but I doubt those would have much effect. It's only got 603 miles on it right now.
I rode the hell out of my old '86 Ninja 250 though, and aside from refurbishing the front forks, I don't recall any suspension issues with it.
