Harsh suspension

[pichulec]

I am currently riding without topbox rack and panniers rack (gone to powdercoat) also without topbox. It is probably 10kg less. My bike is sprung for 90kg+ rider. I have noticed that I can now feel every friking bump on the road. Is 10kg less can make such huge difference in suspension behaviour??

Yes it can and don't forget that weight is high and of the back of the bike.
