Title: C-Spanner..
Post by: infiniteloop on 26 March 2015, 04:26:53 pm

I'm after a C-Spanner to adjust the preload on my '98 Fazer. Found this one on eBay but just wanted to check with you guys if it's the right one.

Cheers..

Don't see why not, cheaper than a hagon one which is the correct size too!

Cheers punk…I noticed that they come in different sizes & just looking for confirmation that this one is the correct size

I am trying to adjust my shock as well - struggling to get the thing to turn!


Have the correct C-spanner....taking the gear shift off to give better access - the guard blocks things a little...

Needs some brutal force especially in high preload settings.

You are using the extension bar on the end of the spanner right!?

It is probably seized. Spray the area above and below the ring with WD40 and turn it down one notch before trying to turn it up.
You will need to use the extender on the handle to get the extra leverage. That is the piece at the top of the picture below

The standard tool kit. If I remember right you could take the back wheel off with it but not the front.  Bit Yamaha probably just expect you to adjust chain with it
