Suspension settings for wheelies

Firstly i appologize if this in the wrong section, feel free to move it. Im curious what is the ideal front and rear suspension settings for wheelies.(mainly getting them up)

FRONT
Preload?Hard?Soft?
Compression Damping?
Rebound Damping?

REAR
Preload?Hard?Soft?
Compression Damping?
Rebound Damping?



Id greatly appreciate if someone who knows, could just feel that ^^^ out. Im currently running an almost all the way hard preload in the front and rear. As far as the front goes, my rebound damping is low and compression damping is low as well. Im not sure if this is ideal. Any help appreciated.

Re: Suspension settings for wheelies

preload for the rear should be set at least stiff enough so there is no sag but i like mine even harder then that and both other settings on full hard ...

the front really has no effect on your wheelies but for stoppies i like my preload set to about 3/4 hard and both other settings at about 90% hard ..

Re: Suspension settings for wheelies

would the settings on the front not change how quickly the front compresses and rebounds?
