bmidd Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 2005 ABS model Just installed the DMr suspension stuff and have hit a bit of a hurdle. There is not enough clearance to adjust the preload collar on the bottom of the shock without the swingarm getting in the way. I have removed the left rear set, but the swingarm creates too much of an angle for the wrench to stay on the collar, it just slips off. I took it for a ride this evening and it was a bit too soft with the preload set on 3, which is where it was when installed. I'm a hair frustrated and would appreciate any input from those with experience with this combo, it looks like an F4 shock btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmidd Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Went and bought one this morning, didn't work. It can't put enough leverage on the collar to spin it. I removed the shock and moved the preload. This shock should come with a warning that you can't adjust your preload without removing the shock.
