Hey guys new to the forum and also new to the KFX. I took mine out twice and I absoulutely love it but the suspension seem to be too stiff..I know they are adjustable and I see the little screws to be adjusted, but which way is softer-harder? Thanks

to the left is softer and to the right is harder, how much do you weigh?

thanks a lot!! i'm about 167..Any suggestions?

try this... go alllll the way down to the left as far as you can go with the compression(top screws) and rebound(bottom screws), then bring the compression up 2 clicks and the rebound up 2 clicks, if thats too harrd go softer...

Do you think thats to soft for mx type riding? I never really messed with my shocks before and there to stiff for the trails but i still want them to be able to absorb a decent sized jump...is what you suggested a good setup for mx.. thanks in advance

i race mx and i use, 3 clicks up on rebound and compression, but if there arent a lot of jumps on the track i use 2 clicks....
