how heavy are you and are you using standard springs?
before mike gets on here and tells you all about it.......the front springs are bi-rate(progressive) with @0.7kg/mm initial boing and then a beefy 1.2kg/mm secondary boing.
it does sound to me like you are using up the intial (soft part) travel with sag adjustment and leaving the heavier rated bit of the spring to do the majority of the work. the jarring/harshness may well be where the two rates meet mid stroke.
as for the back end, if it's standard it will probably be woefully undersprung and by now devoid of the majority of it's damping.
as has been said many times, there is a lot of room for improvement with Fazer suspension.
