Sounds like its set for max loading. It might be a bit stiff. These settings can really change the ride and handleing.
With out a manual its hard for me to say which is which, but typicaly there is a spring preload (bumpy thing under spring) or a larger threaded nut.
and a rebound setting (smaller screw usually on the top or bottom).
Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm not sure with the Honda. If there is a dealer you can trust, you may ask their mechanics.
Suspension can be critical if your doing high speed, or the handleing just dosen't feel right, get it checked out.
