Default suspension adjustment & suggestions

Anyone know where I can get instructions on how to adjust & tune Front YFZ shocks that I will install on my 03 660 Raptor? copy of owners manual maybe?

Heres where I ended up for trail riding. I weigh 160. Preload at 1/4 inch threads showing. Rebound damping (on the bottom) right in the middle. Compression damping as soft as possible then stiffen until body roll goes away.

At this preload setting, the front was about 2" lower than stock. Its a good match for the lowered rear. If your rear is stock, consider an inch of threads showing, more if you are heavy.

Thanks. Is there both compression & rebound on the front? I thought it was one of the 2 but not both, not sure which...

There are both. Rebound is at the bottom of the shock and compression is at the top.
