I have my shock and forks redone for my weight, but unsure of what i should do with my clickers... I can feel the rear bottom a couple times if i case going through the whoops... but the front i am not sure what to do with... I feel like its a little stiff, but that may be because i tend to land on my rear tire first ... Anyone with any information would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

for the shock you should turn the high speed (big adjuster) in. I would only do 1/4 turn increments because it does change it a lot. it will help you with the fast long strokes on the shock i.e. whoops. The forks you can maybe turn a few clicks in on the compression but I would mainly focus on keeping the air bled out of them. excess air can cause that initial stroke to be more harsh. try these out and post back on here the results. Adjust in small increments cause you can get the settings really messed up really fast.

Start with the standard clicker settings in the service manual for the bike and ride it again. Then start tinkering
