Hard suspention problem

Hiya guys, I got on my p8f zx6r the other day and the rear suspension seems really really hard, like I feel EVERY bump in the road.
When I go over larger bumps it makes a clonking noise like its knocking against something's in the upstroke(when the suspensions coming back after absorbing the bump). What could have caused this? And so suddenly too!

Loose connecting bolt?
Maye the shock is shot?
Check them bolts....

yes check where the bolt attack the dog bone to the shock. The shock usually can't break
You may have lost all the damping in the shock so all the innards are hitting ,common on rear shocks might get away with having the internals replaced maybe need a new shock ,see if you have a suspension specialist around your way and take it to them ,but as previously suggested check the shock mount areas
Them rears dont hold up to jumping missing bridges
