Have you ever ridden down the rode and came to a dip in the road and felt like your scooter suddenly just stopped then started moving again.
What would cause this to happen?
It's almost like trying to throw you over the handle bars kind of feeling.

I have had holes jar me but not really slow me down . Ones reaction is to let off of the throttle when events like this happen . Try to avoid potholes if you can . Those with 10s it effects them much more than with 13 or 16 inch tall rims . Keep an eye on that tire pressure

I was almost thinking the front shocks are to soft but don't think theirs any adjustment to make it a little stiffer.

I had an issue similar to this on my last sunny. I found that when the front shocks compress, the front tire would contact the frame because the forks and triple tree were flexing too much...I fixed it a little by tightening the headset.

Thanks, I will have to pull some things apart to get a better idea of whats going on.
It doe's have the feeling like the fork is folding into the frame but also the shocks have a very soft feel to them.
The fork seems secure and turns freely without binding but will have to remove front body panel to get a closer look.
