I'm somewhat new to adjusting suspension but I do know how to use the clikers and such. I am happy with my suspension excepting one thing, the fork seems like it is initially very harsh. It really shows up when I am doing a wheelie and the front end comes down hard the fork seems like it makes a smacking noise and sends a spike up the bars. What adjustments would affect this situation?

Harshness is usually due to valving.Have you made sure the fork isnt binding from the front wheel not centred.Loosen axle clamps(4*12mm bolts i think)then compress forks hard and retighten bolts to ensure fork legs are parrellel.

Also check the lower pinch bolts are not overtightened. Its amazing how little extra force can deform the outer fork leg.
