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?

put some zip ties around your fork tubes. and when you do a wheely just check out were they end up at.

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?
