I am the guy with the new 2011 300 Sixdays. I weigh 215, 235 with gear. After 2 days and 4.5 hours of time on the bike I have backed out compression on both front and rear to almost 0. The rebound is about a few clicks from in. I also had to take half a turn out of rear spring preload on the trail to calm down the rear end. The biggest differance came from from backing off the spring preload a bit. this also decreased the head jitters at high speeds. I found it strange for a person of my weight and riding level (A vet) to have to back off a stock bike so far. Who is this bike set for stock? I still have yet to use all the suspension in G outs or jumps. The suspension works well now everywhere now except in sharp hits and mid sized rolling rocks. I suspect it could use some shim stack work on the initial stroke to calm the sharp feel. I hope this helps out, and I would also appreciate any feed back.
