Need a bit more information about the rider and his ability/style before any suggestions are at all relevant.
Is he a novice, an expert, somewhere in between. Does he ride competition Trials or just muck around. How long is a piece of string?
What problems is he having with the current setup? if any.

Suspension adjustments:

The front forks : left side adjustment is pre-load. wind in (clockwise ) for more preload.
Right side is dampening, anticlockwise - softer.
Rear suspension : obviously the spring base is preload, dampening is adjustable by thin blade screw driver through seat area. Adjuster is on top of shocky.

REad these 4 articles for an understanding of dampening, it will help.
or give me a call and I'll help you with whatever i can.

Hi Paul
He rides at a B/C grade level depending on the club. With the current settings it is hard to hop the front end, it requires lots of energy. (I do not believe it is his technique). I read those articles they gave me some ideas so we will have a play around with it on the weekend.

best regards

Hi paul we had a play with the damping and compression adjustments and got a good result. Thanks for all the tips.
