The actual number of clicks available to full soft may be a variable so coming back up from full soft may have a different damping setting on one side to the other..

I discovered this by accident. Starting from soft, the knobs on each damper will rotate different amounts before the first click, which is a soft click. Each subsequent click gets harder. So because the first click is so difficult to detect, I click to the top, counting as I go, then click down.....................


Thanks both for sharing this important info. I always wondered how to "catch" the first soft clicks. Your approach makes a lot of sense. I will give it a try on my Avo's, of course keeping in mind the total number of clicks counting backwards.
