It probably not a good idea to 'fiddle' with it until everything has been serviced and works as it should.

You must start by setting the sag. Sag is critical to get the bike to work properly. Set both ends to 1/3 sag when you stand on the bike (you'll need a friend to help with the measurements). Check this every 3-6mths as springs sag.

Then adjust damping to preferred feel, but remember a slower dampened bike will tend to give more traction than an undampened.
