Re: Rear Shock adjustment

Easiest way is jack the bike a bit, takes the pressure off and makes bit easier to turn the adjustment collar. You don't have to though if you have a rod that fits the hole really close, just turn them.

Re: Rear Shock adjustment

The end of the screw driver in the tool kit is usually the proper size.
