Rear shock adjustment

[sixpack577]

Yes, any stand that supports from the frame, like the Skylift or Bursig, and including a metal rod through the frame on jackstands, all leave the swingarm unloaded.

How and what spanner or tool do you guys use to adjust your preload on the rear shock? I beat the hell out of my had for 30min yesterday with the cheap ass cycle gear preload wrench I have. It worked great on my FZ-10 I used to have but with the Busa I may get 1/8th of a turn then I reposition and it'll slip causing me to smash my hand/wrist on the left passenger peg bracket. Is the Motion Pro wrench better? It looks like the tab is angled instaed of just a square. I know I'm too heavy for the stock springs at 230lbs but I'd still like to set my sag as good as I can. Thanks

I used a 3/8” ratchet extension and a hammer, worked like charm
