Where is the adjusment screw for the Fork Compression? I know this is a stupid question and I am sorry. But I know where the Fork rebound is, and all of the Shock adjustment locations. But I have no idea where the fork compression clicker is except that it is supposed to be a the bottom of the fork somewhere. Any help will be appreciated, and flaming is also expected, so go ahead. But please help first them flame second okay? Thanks.

Jeremy,
If you look at the very bottom of your fork tubes in the center there is a little black rubber cover, remove the cover with a screwdriver and underneath you will see the compression adjuster.
Good luck!

bullfrog,
i think that this one stumps everyone the first time around. at the bottom of the fork, in the center of the metal endcap is a recess. in that recess is the clicker adjustment screw. HOWEVER, pressed into the recess over the screw is a squishy rubber "stopper" which keeps the dirt out of the recess. so to get to the clicker screw, you need to take a small slotted screwdriver and gently pry the rubber stopper out of the recess. it's awkward because you are woking upside down, but it will come right out. once you get the stopper out, you'll see the brass clicker screw. make your adjustment, and don't forget to put the stopper back in -- it keeps the mud and sand from caking up in the recess.
have fun.

Ahhhhhh, Now it all makes sense. I was wondering what was behind that piece of rubber, but I was a little scared to just go pulling it out. ow the piece of rubber on mine has a hex recess in the middle, this is the right one right? I get off work in 4 hrs. Then I get to check it out. Thanks for the quick replies. I really appreciate it. I'm kind of suprised I didn't get laughed at (knock on wood.) Thanks again.
