Oke do so.For if you dont know top clikker harder and softer, bottom is how fast shock must come up annd down.
Here is a video how it must come back.

Hope it helps
BDI:
Did you go 4" from the top with the tubes extended or collapsed. If you did it with the forks extended they are way to full of oil and would only move about 2" before they become solid. Did you crash?
Sagid:
I filled them up with the fork extended...
I didn't crash, i only rode like 5 min to see how they feel and i could tell there's no response on the forks right away.
BDI:
When I was a kid I had y-zinger 80. I overfilled the forks with oil but the bike seamed fine until the first whoop section. After a couple of whoops the forks packed up solid, my feet got bucked off the pegs. I was hanging on for life with the throttle wicked wide open in third. I was going so fast the bike stayed on top of the whoops, I cought up to my uncle on his husky 250, clipped his front wheel and crashed him. I kept going clean off the trail and out into the sticks. I learned about setting the fork oil correctly the hard way :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:.
