[QUOTE="jestal, post: 89251, member: 477"] I'm SURE the owners manual will tell you what those adjustable black clicking thingies do..... LOL. AFTER reading the manual so that you know where the adjustments are for compression damping, rebound damping and front fork spring preload go to the bike and check and see where the settings are. Turn the compression damping and rebound damping screws in all the way counting the clicks to see where they were. Count the clicks out to reset them and leave the compression damping more than it was. They may not even be set at all. Adjust the spring preload by turning the preload adjuster to get the sag right when you sit on the bike. Beyond that, you can start increasing the fork oil level in the fork tubes to increase the progression from the decreased air space to help with braking dive. Then there are numerous spring choices to increase spring rate if needed. [/QUOTE]
