I'm needing to adjust my rear shock but am having trouble finding a how to video , its a 2005 Hayabusa .
so i realized the other day my rear suspension is waaaay to loose
when riding and i hit a dip in the road my bike will slam down , this has even bent my license plate in half , its a wonder the tire has not popped .
so i need to adjust the rear spring i believe to make it stiffer. I'm having trouble finding a good video on how to do this . it seems a lot of them remove the spring to adjust , can i adjust it while the spring is still on the bike ?
and its not a stock spring its aftermarket so its a little different , which makes my how to search even harder.
the spring is a fox racing shox twin clicker - Newport Cycle Parts - Fox Racing Shox -
i tried beating it with a screwdriver and hammer but i dinged it up on one of the grooves so i just stopped . there wasn't any scratches on the spring adjusters/ lock until i did that yesterday , which makes me think its easy to adjust .
there's a clicker, well 2 clickers and i don't know how to get them dialed in i messed with them yesterday a bit so i probably through them off some .
I'm lookin at spanner wrench sets on amazon but not sure what size i would need
oh and the suspension is too loose with me on the bike and I'm wanting to ride with a lady friend as a passenger on my bike next week as well so i think i should make the shock extra stiff right ?
i weigh 150 lbs and she probably weighs about 120/ 130
