I set the clickers according to the Sticky I found on in this forum.
First I set the shock HS Comp to 1.5 turns out from closed. For reference there are a total of 4 turns of adjustment.
Then I set the LS Comp screw to 12 clicks out (24 clicks total).
I set the Rebound to 15 clicks out (42 clicks total).

On the 45mm Marzocchi Shiver forks I set the Compression to 16 clicks out and rebound to 12 clicks out.

Adjusting the clickers showed me that they all work although some of the clickers make a bit of grinding noise and the shock HS Comp dial is very stiff and hard to turn.

I need to change the oil, clean and inspect the forks and shock before I ride it again to assess the suspension performance.

Depending on what I see inside I might build a tapered midvalve stack in the forks.
Some people have had success with replacing the base valve piston, as the stock unit does not flow enough oil and is too restrictive. I believe a company named Teknic offers a replacement.
