Ive read the manual about adjusting the suspension but honestly im not sure where to start. i want to raise the tail end just to see how it rides. do you need a special tool to turn those "disc" looking things?

i sound like an idiot.who can tell me what to do?

 

i have the same question except for the 500. it's a but low for my taste by low i mean normal

 

it looks like you lossen the top part then tighten the bottom one and work it like that till you get the desired height?

 

cool, i have the bike in storage, i plan to get it tomorrow or monday so i will try this week

 

i guess noone has ever done this

 

i think i asked of it last year and was told about dog bones, but i never got around to doing anything wtih it. but this year (before real warm riding) i'd like to have all mods or what not finished so i don't hafta worry about it

 

ya im thinking it takes a certain type of wrench. ill reread the manual and figure it out. ill let you know!

 

That special Spanner wrench should be in your tool kit. You will have to loosen the upper locknut first.

Check out this article on how to set up your suspension.

alright cool! thanks bro

 

the spanner wrench does not come withe the 05 tool kit..possibly the same with the 06..but you can get them cheap...its a pretty easy set up to do...just loosen the top one, and click the bottom one whichever way you want it to go, up or down...sorry but I dont remember which way to turn it for up or down. I just called my local dealer and the guys in the service department just told me what to do rather than bring it in there.
