R6 Shock preload Adjustment - FZS 600 - No space! - Jbizzle - 22-05-17
Morning All,
I recently fitted the R6 shock to my 2003 FZS 600.
I cant seem to get the C Spanner in to adjust the pre-load. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easy work around?
FYI i was going in from the offside (right hand/ accelerator side) but the larger shock makes it too tight to get the spanner on to the shock and room to adjust.
Any input welcome,
Cheers,
James

Easy job. Take it off, send it to me, and in exchange I'll send you a standard shock which has plenty of room to adjust. :lol

It is awkward but doable, even from the correct 'nearside'

Take it off, guestimate the new setting and refit it, hardly a long job (if you still have your centre stand)

Cheers Joebloggs, I did think about this but it seems a bit of a faff, especially if your out and about and wanted to go two up or something.

Set the preload for two up and leave it there, speed your steering up when your solo and ready for any passengers you may take

Might it be worth looking for a different C spanner? If you google C spanner images there are some that look a bit slimmer than the standard tool kit one. Just a thought, you may have already done it.

Nice one vinnyb. I thought they were all the same.
