**Check the Manual**: First things first, grab your bike’s manual. It usually has specific instructions on adjusting the suspension settings for your model.

**Adjust the Preload**: If your bike has adjustable preload, you can twist the adjuster to change the sag. More preload means a stiffer ride, while less makes it softer. Just make sure you’re sitting on the bike when you do it!

**Compression and Rebound Settings**: Look for knobs or screws on the forks and shock. Turning them clockwise usually stiffens the suspension (compression) or slows the rebound. Play around with it to find what feels best.

**Ride Height**: If you want to change how high the bike sits, you can adjust the rear shock. Raising it can help with cornering, while lowering it might give you a more comfortable ride.

**Test and Tweak**: After making any adjustments, take the bike for a spin. Pay attention to how it feels on bumps and turns, and then tweak it again if needed. It’s all about finding that sweet spot!

**Consult a Pro**: If you’re unsure or want a more professional touch, take your bike to a suspension specialist. They can help set it up perfectly for your riding style and weight.
