Make sure to tighten it all the way down and then let it out about 1/2 a turn. The stock setting was almost a full turn out and way to loose - was wondering why I wasn't able to pull any wheelies during the first run.

One thing I found out is that the pads on the slipper like to "bed in" first. These slippers seem to like to be overheated and faded a bit once. After that, it grips better and doesn't need the spring to be bottomed out. I run about the same setting - 1/2 turn from compressed, and it works really well.
