Best seetings for shock?

Should shocks be stiff for wheelies?? like the rear shock damper, should i turn it to make it harder to wheelie better? any insight how to set up a stock yzf 600 for wheelies?

i like to keep it a bit on the firm side in the rear but not as much up front if its to stiff up front youll blow fork seals and wreck wheel bearings . to soft in the rear and it will rock more . my rear shock is f'd up and i was alot more comfortable when it was firmer .. hope this helps but its all in how you like it . try dropping your tire pressure 2 and see what works for you ..

Robbie can only hope to improve
If any of you "non-glamour" stunna's can add to this it would be great.

What is your rear shock set at(soft,firm?). Do you even care?

No! no one cares they all took springs out of thier screen doors , and have been doing wheelies on them ....... personal settings obviously dont mean **** to you . but i think any stunter out there will tell you, all though you may be able to pull **** off on any machine ... theres always some things... "settings " ....that they would prefer for there own .
