Default Opinions on adjusting Raptor stock boingers.

I'd like to hear how you all adjust your STOCK suspension on your rappies. Here's my deal. I weight like 150 with all my gear. I ride trails aggresively with some 1-2 foot whoop sections and fairly rutted at times. I dont jump very high. Maybe 3-5 feet. Right now I have the fronts set in the middle. Any less and I get to much roll, but I'd like it softer. I can deal with it though. The REAR [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] -- I have the preload at about 9.75", the compression 2 clicks faster and the rebound 2 clicks slower. This beast is still tossing me off the pegs! Can I do better with my weight and the rear adjustment? How do you set yours?

Slow the rebound down until the machine stops bucking. Mine done the same thing.

The way that I set mine up was I set my front preload as high as it can go, and I left my rear shocks preload and compression alone but adjusted my rebound up probably about 3-4 clicks so that I could go over the whoops faster.

What do you guys weight? Also, if the rebound is slow wont the rear shock pack up and toss me or is it just a hard ride without the swapping?
