I need you input in order to fix a little bad rear sensation.
SAG set correctly and tires inflated correctly for intermediate conditions(13 front and 12 rear). In 4 and 5 gear wide open I have noticed a little lack of traction and a loose feel sensation, it was fixed by turn 2 click OUT (Rebound).
Now I have the same sensation but when I start accelerating in 1 or 2 gear or exiting of a corner using the low gears I feel a little of lack of traction...I think that my rear compression is too SOFT...
- I am going try to fix it with 3 or 4 clicks IN.
Please give me your opinions before doing anything.

helio have you downloaded jers tuning guide on his website as it is very discriptive.Also on ajusting the clickers it is said that rebound affect compression and if you increase rebound by 3 clicks you should remove 1 click of compression, this is because the rebound circuit has a common bleed so if you increase rebound you choke off compression slightly.To be honest i dont usually think about it and just adjust one circuit at a time.

Thanks for your time.
I have decreased rebound(2 clicks) to fix the lack of traction in 4 and 5 gear wide open so I going to increase compression...With 1 or 2 clicks concerning compression will be noticeable the difference I think...

increasing the sag on the bike will help rear wheel traction when exiting a corner.play with your sag and feel the difference it makes dont go by a certain number that is supposed to be correct
