do you have an air adjustment and if so you shud put air in that and play with the low speed compression

15 Pounds of air in the fork will do amazing things

so then you have the low speed compression to play with, what i do is set it all the way to one side (so spin it in one direction until it stops) feel it and see how it is, then turn it a click the other direction and keep doing that until it feels right

Should have bought a Marzocchi fork in stead, they have the best tunability around.

ehh ive had three and theyre not as good as everyone says. theyre kinda heavy. besides rockshox uses the same seals that fork modifiers use (i.e push industries) and theyre killer plus the dampening is really nice. they last longer than marzocchi too

well if the low speed compression doest fix it then i would say bring it to your local shop and if they cant do anything theyll talk to rockshox for you

This is retarded. If it bottoms out that easy you need a heavier spring. How much do you weigh? Coil forks can't be made to work for every rider weight stock.
