tokico illuminas adjustment question

[Hiitman]

had a question. if you rotate the dampening adjustments past 5 and back to 1 does it make them more stiff or does it reset back to 1?

I'm 99% sure that Illuminas have five different (2-way) bleeder ports, so you can spin it around all you wish; what matters is the current setting, not how you got there. I'd love to be corrected, if I am wrong about this. I've never seen a schematic of Illuminas.

In contrast, Konis cannot be spun around ad nauseum, since you are screwing down a blocker for the (1-way) bleeder. And remember: on such a shock, always go to full stiff and then back it off a certain amount.
