Adjusting suspension without wrench...
Hi everyone, my fz6 rear shock is currently set to 3 (Factory setting) and I would like to bump it up a couple of notches. BUT, I have seemed to misplace my toolkit Does anyone know of a way to adjust the suspension without the spanner wrench??

Thanks for any help,
Jason

i honestly don;t think it is possible, maybe with some big channel locks? Lots of bikes have the same toolkit, ask to borrow a buddies for a few mins?

Re: Adjusting suspension without wrench...
Most of my friends drive fugly cruisers I guess I can just make my own wrench... Anyone got the time to trace their wrench on a sheet of paper and scan and then post the image here? It would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Jason

I can do that tonight. and FWIW i used my FZ one to adjust Keirs SV650 shock. maybe even just heading to the dealer and asking to borrow one from a display model or something for a couple mins.
