easiest way to adjust rear suspension ? - Enceladus - 31-05-13

been trying for 15 mins or so to move the rear suspension on my fzs600 but i can't get it to budge.
been hanging off the "spanner" like a monkey and it won't move.
is there an easy way please ?
at the moment it is on the 3rd groove from the tallest end and i want to move it down a notch or two.
thanks Smile

how crusty is the shock? do you have the right tool? you could try a liberal dose of wd40 and a pipe over the spanner to give a bit more leverage

shock and "collar" (don't know the right term) look v clean and shiny.
using the tool in the tool kit
have given it a squirt of grease, but still no joy.
best on centre stand or side stand ?
thanks Smile

Have you put the extension bar on the c spanner that comes in the tool kit, it is quite stiff! :lol

Best on centrestand and it's a hell of a lot easier with the handle attached to the spanner!
