Hi all;
Need to adjust the rear shocks and the manual states making the changes via a tool. Anyone know what this "tool" is or if there ad hoc piece that can be used to adjust the rear coil shocks?
TIA

They are made to accept a spanner wrench - but I just use my hands.
Spanner wrenches are inexpensive and easy to find. Match the diameter of the shock to the inside curve of the wrench - anything close will work. You could always put a stubby screwdriver into one of the holes and turn it that way.

Just put on a leather glove and adjust it with your hand. I suggest you do it while the bike is on the center stand.

Did you look for the small tool kit that should have come with bike ( originally ) ?
Should be wrapped in a blue plastic case and strapped to the bottom of the seat .
