I did some digging on that bike. Nice bike. Looks like you might have this fork:

There is a link on the above page to an owner's manual.
Also, fwiw, I found a review of your bike:

Getting back to preload, normally I would expect to see it as a knob on the top left. Unless you have an air preload, in which case look for a Schrader valve top left.
Edit: I read the PDF manual. Looks like no preload. You might need to order a different spring then.

thank you very much for that!!!
it looks like the only adjustment is the rebound (on top right) on the left there is nothing. however on the bottem right there is a small knob that i am not sure what it is for. i think the forks may be aftermarket because they look different to the pictures and the rear shock is definitely not stock. i think i may just get a stiffer spring

I found a setup guide online with some photos in it:

Hmmm....that guide says the coil version does not have compression adjustment. OTOH, your fork might be from a different year, and often fork brands will create special OEM models for bicycle brands.
