Title: Rear shock adjustment tool
Post by: Fog on Sep 22, 2020, 12:57:47 pm

I just purchased an 2009 Raider with only 4540 miles on it, anyone have a part number for the special tool to adjust the rear shock spring

That spanner wrench is part of tool kit #2. It includes the spark plug socket. The part # is 5C7-28110-00-00
You should have kit #1 under the seat already.

I came here hoping someone had a better tool than the stock, to be honest adjusting that spring laying on the floor is pretty difficult for me. And the darn tool hardly fits in there so you get just the tiniest bit of movement. In my opinion this is the worst bike I’ve ever had for adjusting the rear shock.
