I was tempted to play around with the settings on my Wolverine too, but I'm a little nervous. I've been hearing all kinds of horror stories about people bending their rear axles hitting jumps, and I was wondering if maybe these are the people who have their suspension turned way up so the axle is taking the full force of the landing..... just a thought.

I was wondering about this too...I've never adjusted my Wolverine...fact is I have no clue how....does it say show how in the manual? Or do you need some special tool?

I know this post is a bit old...but here is my 2 cents...

Your suspension depends on your weight...the manual for your bike should give some recommendations for weight compared to riding style. If you weigh more than around 145...I would think they would be soft regardless of the setting...Thats if you enjoy jumping...The blaster is quite nimble...and can hold it's own just fine..but..I felt really cramped on one...I weigh around 165-170 and I was killing that poor bike....
