Default adjusting front forks

Ok help me out on this one. Comes factory 12 clicks out. If I want stiffer front end do I go in or out on the adjustment? Thanks

You will want to go in to increase the damping. A stiffer spring, or small spacer at the top of the spring might be what you really want.

yeah the front end is really soft. I am going to crank them in to see if that helps any. Thanks

It'll help slow down the fork but you'll have to click it way in to really notice much, like 2, 3 or 4 out from all the way in, At least that's how mine acts and I'm running thicker than stock fluid.

kawaski used a pretty soft spring but runs the oil level high so the airspring effect kicks in close to bottoming.
If you put a zip tie on your fork leg you may find even though it feels like your blowing through ALL the travel you may be short of the full 11".
