C-spanner

Anyone got a tool (I presume it's a c-spanner) to adjust the pre-load on a GSX-R rear shock?

You'll do well to get any place near it on a GSX-R

It is time to find yourself a blunt "f*ck off" screwdriver and a hammer!

I do have a toolkit but there is no c-spanner in it.

The owners manual says to go to your local dealer and have them do it of get a Suzuki "special tool".

you can usually get replica's of the original of ebay for bike c-spanners, usually come in 2 piece so it fits under the seat easily.

doubt the quality will be brill but as its not something that takes a huge amount of pressure to turn ( apply wd-40) it should be okay.

Usually about a tenner!

Shirlaws think it should be part of the supplied toolkit. Can any other GSXR owner confirm this?

Have you tried asking a Suzuki dealer for their expert advice?

I would suggest you wear gloves when trying to adjust the rear pre-load

I thought using a c-spanner would be easier?
