Eel,

Is the bike pogoing from poor rebound, or from the compression damping too hard?  For off road, I would try to completely back off the compression damping then add more and more until it stops bottoming.  If the rear end is pogoing from lack of rebound with the clickers, then back off the spring preload for more sag.  This will keep the spring from overpowering the rebound damping.

A good starting point for sag for off road riding is 3 inch front and 4 inch rear.  But again this needs to be fine tuned for your style and terrain.

I might be wrong, but the way I set up the suspension for offroad is to adjust the sag to get the ride height and "balance" right.  Then adjust the compression damping to minimize bottoming and enough rebound to prevent "packing down" or kicking in the whoops.  This is a starting point.  Call Scott's or RG3 as they may have some good setup info.

Sometimes the hassle of setting up a new bike outweighs the joy of the new ride!
