Hi guys
Recently bought a 2012 Tenere 660z. So trying to figure out how everything works. I previously had a F650 GS and adjusting the preload on the rear shock was very simple, it had an adjustment knob. I see the Yamaha does not have that luxury...I searched the internet to see on videos how it is done and with which tool. But I have had no luck, there does not seem to be any videos on the topic. The owners manual shows where it must be done on the shock but it does not show which tool to use. I think it must be a c-shaped tool in the standard toolkit of the bike but I tried it and it is very difficult to get right. Does anybody have any experience with this or maybe a link to a video which I somehow missed?
Thanks!
