Default Shock Bottom
Comin down off wheelies or at least me attempting them it feels like the front shocks are almost bottoming out. Never felt like this on any of my 600's.....Any help on what I can do or should do?

try adjusting your preload to full hard,it sounds like it might be too soft and bottoms out when you land.

I messed with the preload, and it helped. I did notice a simaler screw to the preload screws at the bottom of the forks at the axle ends. Any clue what these are?

And if you still don't know what it does.I suggest you read your owners manual or the service manual.It's the way to set up your suspension.
