first set your ride hight. with stock tires u should be at 8-81/4" at frame under pegs and 1/4" taller 22" forward. with u on. after that set the comp all the way soft front and rear, set the rebound at half way front and rear. go riding and bring a screw driver. the spring rate(ride hight) is most important to start. now if u feel like one end or the other is bottoming go in a little at a time till it feels better. the front rebound should be good but if the rear starts to buck to much go in on the rebound till it feels good. on my 04 w/ stock shocks i raced w/ rear rebound all in so it didn/t throw me over the bars, but in the trail it sucked. go slow till u get it to feel right for u and don't be afraid to try dif settings. hope this helps;)
