Jeff, you should just back every adjuster all the way out! Let me get a video camera though.

I thought all upside down had rebound on top. Glad I read this. I'll have to remember or I'd just assume top was rebound on upside down. I've had the opposite experience to you with bikes with upside down forks.
I believe the distinction is dual chamber forks like those on most (?) "modern" Japanese MX bikes and the Marzocchi 50mms like I have on my MC250 have the compression adjuster on top. My Duc S2r 1000 (not dual chamber) has rebound on top. I suspect your Japanese street bikes also run dual chamber forks if the compression is on top. Though I know little about Japanese bikes the OP best consult his manual since he likely has one of each with single chambers on his EC300 and dual chambers on his YZ250.

Jeffro, I'm pretty think on information too.
I'd start, from all the way out, then turn 13 in from there on every adjustment, which is about midway, and see how it feels. We'll watch you as you ride @ M&G and try to fine tune it. If you want me to ride it and play, I'll set it up as close as I can get it to where I like it, then see if you dig.
I think you outweigh me, but that will probably be fine.
