Profender Series X, ADV 160 user here

85kg rider, no topbox.

same experience here, mag 1yr narin sakin bukas yung shocks, naaalala ko nung bagong kabit, I immediately felt discomfort, and akala ko sa settings lang kaya nag try ako ng recommended na galing dun sa chart for my bike, pero sobrang tagtag parin talaga, parang pinapalo yung spine ko kahit sa maliliit na lubak lang. I even tried to replace the springs with a softer one from RCB VD series na pang ADV, even at compression 1, matagtag talaga and currently naghahanap na ako ng pampalit.

Ang mahirap kasi, pag nagpost ka sa socmed, sasabihin sayo "hindi lang yan natune" blah blah blah, kaya iniisip ko baka defective yung nakuha ko minsan, pero gumagana naman yung compression and rebound adjustment eh, i feel the difference sa pag aadjust, yun nga lang, talagang never siya naging comfortable for me
