Do you have a shock spanner tool? Looks like a big hooked C with a handle?
It comes from the factory with the forks on the middle setting (3 rings showing..there are 2 more rings below you find by screwing the big screw counter clockwise..both forks must be on the same ring and watch alignment of screw head) and the shocks on the 4 th of 5 softest setting(there are 3 slots above and 1 more below). If you are going to be riding solo mostly (occasional passenger) the factory settings are fairly neutral. If you are carrying a passenger a lot you may want to stiffen up both ends 1 position. If you are going to be carrying passenger and luggage a lot you may want to stiffen them both 2 positions. If you are fairly light and ride solo all the time and are not a real aggressive rider, you may want to soften those settings a position. I am in that last category and have mine set at 4 rings showing front and deepest slot rear. If you are an aggressive rider (corner carver) you may also want to stiffen your suspension from factory settings...although to tell you the truth with this price point suspension, I'm not sure changing it either full soft or full hard gets you much difference lol.
