Ok....definately get a shop to look at it. Marz can soemtimes come with low oil heights. But at that weight I wouldn't think he should be able to bottom it out, sounds like he is landing front wheel heavy or the spring is broken, jrT's are not that easy to bottom out.

Also, with the poor damping, jrT's can sound like they are bottoming when in the fact the oil pressure got so high in the fork that is clunks like a bottom but doesn't in fact reach bottom.
