Soulville,
That is the nature of the beast. Abrupt bumps or potholes really rack the back end of these things. I'm at 225lbs and I can hit a smooth bump or dip and it is fine. If there is an abrupt surface break it does hit hard and it doesn't have to be all that big. You probably find if you ride a roller coaster type of road with lots of dips you are fine. Hit a 3 inch surface break and it hits HARD. Now I'm referring to an 1100. The 1500 is much more forgiving.
