I've noticed the same symptoms and to be honest, I'm a little disapointed with the KYB's. The whole idea of going with the race version was to get better suspension. Anyway, I've had mine re-valved by a respected tuner in my area and that helped to a certain degree. I've removed 30 cc's of oil from each leg, installed micro bleeders and backed off the rebound from factory settings. I had a feeling that the forks were not rebounding fast enough for the next obstacle and that it contributed to the overall harsh feeling. It seemed that the first obstacle might feel ok but if the were several in a row, such as a rock field, the fork wasn't reacting fast enough. Lastly, more breakin time is either helping or I'm just adjusting to their mannerisms.
