Default Banshee shock settings

How do you guys set up your STOCK yamaha banshee shocks? I want to know because everytime i get on someone else's banshee theirs seems to be much smoother than mine. Could this be a difference between j-arms and a-arms? (because my banshee has j-arms and the others i've ridden have a-arms)
I usually set mine up with the frount and rear soft but not all the way soft.
How do you guys do it?

BTW i ride dunes and jump alot.

Thanks

ya i think if should go stiffer on my front shocks also i only weigh 110 and when we got it we put it on the softest settings but i think if should go stiffer how much stiffer to you think if should go i don't do any huge jumps or mx lots but i like catching a little air and it seems to be bottoming out a lot (i know the shocks suck but maby i can make them a little better)

I dont bottom my fronts on my blaster just the back,so i tightened it only,its all the way tight ,and the fronts are on the 2nd setting from soft......On your banshee the problem is the j-arms,they suck,ive had a atv with them and it rode so unbieliebly rough,good thing is they make conversion kits to turn it into a aarm front end.
