ok so im doing some testing on these forks to try and dial them in. despite the complicated design i have managed to figure out most of the fork and how to adjust them. i only have one problem, if i case to hard the fork bottoms out and makes a loud clunk sound like metal on metal. the manual says to add more oil to the left fork. but there is also a compression dampening slicker on the top of the fork. am i able to make the compression harder or do i have to take the fork off get all the special tools and add a tony bit more oil.

You can also reduce bottoming by increasing the outer chamber....it has the same effect as raising the oil level.
As a note, in SX... Showa techs were running over 200.

I believe you just use the air pressures to set up your "spring rate" then dial it in with the clickers for comfort...
