Wrench to adjust rear shock


Kane

Recommended Posts

Ok, this is a dumb-ass lame question: what wrench should I buy to adjust the spring load on my rear shock (the kind with the white spring)? Will any generic shock adjuster spanner wrench do, or is there a particular type that works best considering the nut size and space restrictions?

I’ll try the Ohlins wrench.

Thanks!

Different brand shocks have different adjuster wrench needs.

Do you have the Ohlins shocks? If so, I would use the Ohlins shock wrench.

I got a couple generic ones from MotionPro that work okay. The issue is access around the airbox and that setting the preload without the tank and airbox is far from ideal.

On the original Sachs, I recall using a drift to release the lock ring and rotate the adjuster. Also less than ideal, but got it accomplished albeit with some hairy knuckle dragging . . .
