Sounds like you may have jiggled something loose. Check the areas around the top of the shock for loose conneections.

Sound as though 1 full turn has stiffened up the shocks quit a bit. Is it possible that something, let's say something to do with the ignition system, is loose, and when you hit a bump it moves a little causing your problem? After all, the shocks aren't absorbing as much of the impact that they use to, so something else is going to suffer. I might not have said this right, but you get the idea, right?

I thought adjusting Konis only affected the rebound, not the compression? (the reds are like that anyway)

Still, I agree that it's prolly something that happened to be ->thisclose<- to coming loose that's now getting an intermittant contact.

I think I'd be running to the starter and ignition coil connections first.
