C spanner in the 600 toolkit

[mobile mouse]

Hi,

About to upgrade my rear shock on my FZS600 foxeye from std to the FZS1000 shock with the 600 spring as described on the forum.
 
My question is:
Do I need to buy a different C spanner for the spring preload adjusting ring.
 
Or can I use the C spanner in the 600 toolkit to do the same job on the 1000 shock.

regards,

[Andy FZS]

Sorry I can't answer your question but I'm interested in the modification, any chance of a review a couple of pictures once done.
Good luck
Andy

if your c spanner is the same size then yes you can use it

Would be interested to hear about how easy it is to change the preload on the thou shock (esp when on the 600).... harder than the standard shock?

Yes, a bit more of a pain when thou shock is fitted to the 600..

Thanks wezdavo. That's a bit of a bummer though. I'm always taking different loads so easy adjustment of preload is a must. Standard 600 shock is quite easy to adjust, shame its such a budget item. I guess the only other alternative is a costly aftermarket shock with a remote adjuster
