tuning the suspension

[edwardsk9]

i was racing a small track in renner, sd and my shocks kept bottoming out. what are some simple things to do to soften them up? i have already turned the screw adjustment on them as tight as it will go. i still have the stock shocks on and was wondering how hard it is to adjust the springs on the rear shock? any advice will be helpful thanks.

Try some adjustments on the rebound

this is my first year riding and it probably sounds pretty stupid but how do i do that?

The rebound adjustment if u have one is on the bottom of the shock. its a screw like for the compression. Turn that screw out 1 turn and go from there. if that does't help just remember how many turns u made so u can put it back how it was. If goin out doesn't help try the other direction. I'm pretty sure if the rebound is gonna help u its gonna be turning it out.
