Stoppie shock settings?

I just picked up a F4i and I'm rolling stoppies about 20-30 feet. The problem is that I only do that 50% of the time. The other 50% the front tire is locking up...

I've read that tire pressure should be around 28psi, but what should the shocks be set at? Should they be soft or really stiff?

I noticed mine are pretty soft, so i thought that may be the problem...thanks

Re: Stoppie shock settings?

and rebound is on the bottom correct? and you would want it to the "harder" position?

don't know where it is on your bike...I guess "harder" is what I mean but let me explain...when you bring your rear up the forks compress and rebound makes it decompress. How much and how fast it will decompress depends on rebound. And let's just say you don't want your bike to be jumping while in endo...sorry but I can't explain it any better...
