C-Spanner..

[infiniteloop]

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.

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!?

[anutz]

er no....


Once i did it was easy.... 


Thanks

[anutz]

So here is mine, no idea if i measured the correct thing, but it may help...

Cheers for the help & pics…but I'm still none the wiser whether this C-Spanner on eBay is the correct size or not..??

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

Make me an offer on a standard fzs600 one if needs be......i have one in the shed as unfazed has posted up.


Been a while since the noggyshop (Tm) did business.......cue christo now telling us that deefer has complete tool kits .

PM sent noggy..

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

[noggythenog]

Anyone know what size allen key that is.????

[anutz]

I have 2 in my kit for some reason, a 5mm and a 4mm key, taking the measurement from parallel edges

Cheers Anutz...mine doesnt have any...but it does have a set of feeler gauges...hmmmm

[Jules-C]

Think it's a 5mm in the toolkit. For taking the side panels off

[noggythenog]

Infiniteloop......will have to be Friday i send you this, cross reference reveals a couple bits i need to rake about in the shed for mate.

[anutz]
