Can you explain the feeling or terminology you use as feed back to make clicker settings. I have a basic understanding of what is happening. And what the clickers do. Rehashing it won't hurt either. Do you start with the forks first ? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pete

Thanks BigH , that is a good article. I am hoping someone explains it with street terms ; the rear was kicking so I went out on my compression click one at at time . That settled it then i adjusted my rebound2 clicks in to get it to .... . It is just another way of trying to communicate in the MX world.

You're better off just asking someone when you have a problem..


Generally when it comes to the rear... kicking UP is a rebound issue (rebound too fast) and kicking side to side is a compression issue (too stiff or bottoming).

just saying its kicking can be from many different things and need different adjustments.....and sometimes there is just so much your suspension can deal with........and it just kicks.

What kind of bump and if there are many in a row....which bump does it start kicking.

Thanks for the links guys that is what I was looking for. Sometimes wording something just a bit different makes the picture clear. Again Holigan and wrecks thanks.
