my .02:
i think the softer ur rear shock is, the more give it has when poppin up a wheelie... i have mine set between the middle and stiff. on the other hand, if u do stopies the softer u have it, the nicer coming down will be...

the harder your rear suspension is set the easier the wheelies are. The logic being you don't lose as much power being sucked up in your rear shock. If it's harder, it will transfer all the power into the wheelie and bring the bike up easier.

Same thing with endos, stiffer front suspension will bring the rear end up faster because the front isn't diving as badly....
