I have a Motowoz rear shock that bottoms out on 7/10 jumps that i do. It came with a little piece of paper that said how to adjust it but my mom threw it out last time she was in my room because she thought it was trash. I need to know how to increase compression in my rear shock by tonight, since i have a race tomorrow with a lot of big jumps and i dont want to ruin my quad from bottoming constantly.

The compression is controlled by the screw/knob on the reservoir.
Screw it in like your tightening a screw to make the compression stiffer.
Screw it out/loosen to make it softer.

The rebound is controlled on the bottom of the shock where it mounts to the linkage.
If your standing behind the bike, turn the knob to the right to slow the rebound and to the left to make it faster.

Both of mine are set pretty much all the way stiff on the rear shock. But yours is probably valved totally different.
I don't notice my rear bottoming out unless I case/overclear or there's a big dip in the landing.

Make sure ur on the throttle when u land too. If not you are way more likely to bottom out.
