For a few months now, my P500 clunks when going over whoops at a decent speed. My first thought was front suspension but I can't find anything loose. Same with the rear suspension. I'm thinking it's a bolt somewhere that's just loose. I'm hoping someone on here has had the same issue and can tell me what they found because it's going to take me forever to find this clunk.

Could be just the unweighting of the suspension making a clunk when going over bumps.

At first I thought i was topping out the shocks, but it happens too easily for that. Could be what you said though.

Are you sure it's not just the gears in the rear end? That's the only clunking I ever get out of mine. You need more weight on that machine...a disco ball or microwave maybe? :D

LOL I'm pretty sure something is loose. But I'll try the disco ball and microwave and see what happens.
