I have read all of reviews about the Khaos being a wheelie machine. I just picked up a used 2020 850. I am wondering what adjustments will help to keep the front end down a little. I don't know much about the shock adjustments.

i had my rear shock spring set close to where manual says and ended up tightening 3 more turns to tame the front. compression adjustment I have between 1/2 and 3/4 toward the stiff side. I don’t remember how many clicks of adjustment there is 12?

I have set my rear shock spring to match my weight, 2 turns tight from stock and run both the high speed and low speed on stiff settings,(around 2 or 3 clicks back from all the way stiff) I have also set my front track shock to the soft side. This worked good the last time out, it kept the front down to a little more pro like.

Once you get the spring set for your weight I found I only have to adjust the slow speed setting (black knob) and it will go from wheelie everywhere to keeping the skis 4"-6" off the snow.
