I feel that my front shocks are way to soft. I can be running hard and just let off teh gas it nose dives. I see that you just need to turn the nut on the bottom of the shock to make it stiffer. But, what kinds tool do you use? Is there a special wrench for that? Thanks.

Jack up your front end and just turn the coil spring it will make them hard.

Jack the front end off the ground, spray the threads with WD-40 and turn the springs by hand. It will give your forearms a workout after turning both shocks 10 revolutions!
