Has anyone adjusted the pre-load on the rear shock? I had a very quick look at the weekend for the expected twin locking rings. Looks kinda hard to get too, although I only removed the left side panel below the tank, and the seat.
 
Hi proper preload spanner is no good, two choices bang the hell out of the rings with a blunt long big screwdriver or remove the shock, i replaced the spring for a hyperpro one but originaly removed the shock to adjust, its just a bit tight getting the top mount bolt nut and washer back on, my lad who is 11 got his hand in there easy as i couldnt.
 
I jacked up the engine so rear wheel dropped and took pressure off shock spring.
Then as per 'the voices' whacked hell out of the top locking ring 'till it loosened. Bloody big screwdriver and lump hammer did it!
Easy to then wind down the bottom adjuster ring.
