alot of guy soften up the back compresion and stiffen up the rebound in the back, this lets the bike squat, basically absorbing the launch and lowering the bike and keeping it there. helps with wheeling and shocking the tire loose. If your using a slick, drop it low as possible and stiff as possible. some stiffen the front comp pre load. so if the front comes down hard it dont bottom out.and brake the pan. Your riding style and weight will determine what works for you.good luck
