Title: Tool for Rear Shock Adjustment
Post by: azscootin on September 08, 2011, 03:11:47 AM

Hi all;

Need to adjust the rear shocks and the manual states making the changes via a tool.  Anyone know what this "tool" is or if there ad hoc piece that can be used to adjust the rear coil shocks?

TIA

They are made to accept a spanner wrench - but I just use my hands.

Spanner wrenches are inexpensive and easy to find.  Match the diameter of the shock to the inside curve of the wrench - anything close will work.  You could always put a stubby screwdriver into one of the holes and turn it that way.

Just put on a leather glove and adjust it with your hand.  I suggest you do it while the bike is on the center stand.

Did you look for the small tool kit that should have come with bike ( originally ) ? 

Should be wrapped in a blue plastic case and strapped to the bottom of the seat .
