fork adjustment

im a big guy, 265 at 6'2 and i realise that i need to upgrade the form but its not in the budget just yet, so for the time being am i safe to crank up the adjusters on the fork to the max? i find im riding a little harder now and for single turns the bike still handles great but when i get into tight higher speed s bends i can feel the front end opening up as im switching sides.

Yeah, that's ok. You won't be able to hurt anything within the limits of adjustment you have. Good luck!

Yeah, just don't force it. The adjustments will eventually bottom out. The small screw is the rebound damping, it should only have about 2.5 turns of total adjustment range.
