The way i have mine set up.

The flathead screws on the bottom of the forks is tightened in and the flat head screws on the top of the forks are tightened down then turned about 2 and 3/4 turns out.
Now for the socket on the top not the one that seperates the forks tho . Some forks have lines to go by on them i losen mine out 4 and 1/2 lines out. Then you can try it and dile them in from there.

Thats how i have mine set up..Hope that helps.

jus playin in all seriousness man you need to start tryin to roll them from about 45-50 (minimum).. just try to get the rear up and keep it up, at first youll be doin major power stoppies but the more time you **** wit it the higher the rear end will go and the longer it will roll, just concentrate on rolling at all in the first place...

Re: Stoppies

When you come in for the stoppie.
Squeeze your front brakes you want your forks to compress then when they compress squeeze them more to bring up the rear end and go from there.
Start with that then once you feel good doing that there are other things that come into play but nothing you need to know now.

True if you get on the front brake right when you let off the throttle then it will come up fast! But i didnt want the guy to flip.
