Shock Preload adjustment

[The Spaceman_imp]

Thanks for the info. I am from the Iowa City area. I bought it up in Cedar Rapids. I might just ride up there and see if they will let me borrow a wrench. I did find the Honda wrench available from Motosport Outlet for $16 and a similair tool made by tusk racing from Rocky Mountain atv for $8. To me it seems like that tool should have came with the bike, but hard to complain when I am spending $$ just to buy matching side panels.

The suspension feels pretty good stock, but I want to make it as good as it can be.

Apparently the tool is included in some markets (like Japan). The owner's manual mentions the shock spanner and couple of other tools that weren't in my kit.
