What are your opinions on the C400’s suspension? Specifically how it handles the bumps??
I’ve put about 10,000km on the bike. It’s been pretty good city riding where the speed is no greater that 70kph. I do find both the front and rear suspension is not so good absorbing the bumps when such as manhole covers.
For this riding season, I’ve been spending more time riding the highways......100kph or higher. I’ve ridden over sections of road where the asphalt is like a washboard. It’s only happened on the odd time here and there but when I do, the bike is difficult to manage. I do find myself in the opposite lane position. Letting off on the throttle to slow down the bike does help.
The way the bike handled the bumps reminded me of my first full suspension mountain bike. The harder the bump, the faster and larger the rebound.
I have my rear shocks set to position 1. I’m wondering if there’s a softer spring would help or should I consider the YSS or OHLINS suspension upgrades for both the front fork and rear shock with rebound control.
YSS Thailand does offer a front and rear shock upgrade option.

I will need to contact OHLINS for options.
Opinions and/or thoughts?
