What causes a lot of confusion among people is probably the ambiguity of the terms.
Clockwise, or Firmer ride settings are towards the lower numbers (0, 1, etc). Counter-clockwise, or softer settings, are towards the higher numbers (12, 13, 14). The problem comes in when you look at the dials and they show Firm + and Soft -, because in normal people's math (everyone) when you ADD or +, the number is supposed to go higher, not lower! Personally, I'd have labeled the marks as H and S (Hard and Soft) rather than + and -.
Not to mention the word Higher points to the left rather than the right. It's a bit of a mess, really (the terms that is).
Also, I believe what people are talking about when they say reset, is to reset to 0, (zero) rather than resetting to 14. Let's say you're at what you think is 7. If you want to go to setting 5, you turn it all the way to zero, then turn it counter-clockwise five clicks rather than going counter-clockwise two (7 immediately to 5).
