Shock Preload adjustment
#19
No it does not.

I checked in the garage now and in fact they skipped the first few parts.
The screwdrivers are there, teh 5mm hex is there, the fuse removal tool, and the hook spanner with extension to adjust the rear preload.
Frankly I do not miss the poor quality tools much. For a longer tour I'd take a leatherman (for the pliers) and an adjustable Spanner on board.
If you have to adjust the chain tension on tour you are either on a very long trip (then seek a motorbike workshop) or your tour preparation was awful (again, if need be then seek a garage).
I have a tyre repair kit in the underseat compartment which allows for reasonable repair of tubeless tyres without removing the wheel. So I only need the 27 or 32mm wrench at home, if at all.

All bike shops in the world will adjust chain tension during a pit stop, no waiting time, just a buck/Euro for the guys will do.
