Evening everyone.
The 1150 Adventure I recently purchased came with a seized rear preload adjuster. So after days of soaking with Plus Gas, it slowly released and the now rotates nice and free throughout its range. However, no matter how I adjust it I cannot get any resistance/pressure. This morning I removed the adjuster to possibly add some oil. The issue - I tried to get the piston within to retract fully, but no matter what I do it would not budge. Im guessing it must be beyond repair. Has anyone here any experience with these or know of a used adjuster possibly? The bike is a 2005 model with 35k on it. Can anyone suggest any cost effective options as I cannot stretch to a new rear shock.
Thanks in advance Stephen
