Ok I did a search didn't really come up with much. Picture attached. The ring at bottm of the spring w notches. I assume that's preload? its one notch from all the way down. And sometimes, especially w wife on, certain bumps it just feels goofy, sometimes the tag will hit, I had the rebound and comprssion and stuff set up but we didn't do sag or turn that knob. So correct me if I'm wrong here. But I want to turn that. Now how do I?! I put it on stand then jacked up middle to take weight off and tried the hammer n bar method (don't worry I didn't wack the **** out of it)) do I need to remove the shock to do this?? Have someone hold the tail up? Whattttt??

Cook Thanks. Ok so like a spanner tool similar to car coilovers. That opens a few doors. Bad part. My bike didn't come with a tool kit do they sell those at like cyclegear or anyplace? Also since you don't need to take off I assume the extension would because its hard as fuh and thus my hmmer/pry bar didn't work. I see I see

Sooo aparently it has to be a honda cbr spanner wrench. I just spent an hour or so trying wth my old car spanner wrench and no go. I also assume its probably hard as fuh to turn?

Ok don't wann beat dead buttt.... I just received my tools today got the spanner wrench ad extension. One exension wayy smaller then I thought. 2. I'm still not having luck with it. I got it on there and all and sometimes I can see it give a little turn a hair but then the wrench usually comes fying off and I knuckle f**k the peg. I can't seem to get it to stay long enough for even one click. Am I doing something wrong. bike is on stand. Extension onto wrench. Wrench onto coilover w nipple in slot. Then it comes off. More beer? Fairy dust? Anything lol?! Such a simple process I'm starting to wounder about myself...

I finally won!!!! After I taped the extension on then put a flat file into end and taped that on for extra leverage. I ground down the inside rounded part a bit so it sat closer to it and I 'sharpened' the actual nipple that sits in the collar a bit.. I see what you all mean about rounding it. So I re did it and I finally beat this thing.... since I only paid 9 bks for th wrench next fire I make I'm gonna throw it in the coals and heat treat it then I'm gonna weld the extension to it I feel accomplished:beer:
