Title: change preload 01
Post by: Will McClard on June 14, 2006, 09:03:02 PM
I have a 01 but not the tool to change the preload.
Any pointers as how to do this.
Channel locks won't fit in.
I tried a big screw driver but looks something will bend before it turns

they always seize up. spray lots of wd 40 on let it sit. make sure you have the weight off the back wheel.
alternitivly. rip that shaZam! shock out and get a rgv or sv650 shock. it makes a huge difference to riding and are fairly cheep
