Hey fellas, I want to adjust my suspension settings and I can do all but the front pre-load. Just curious which tool do you use so i can purchase it and where? thanks

 

it should be in your tool kit that came with the bike it looks like a tube witha socket fitting on one end and a hole in the side at the other end for turning.... ill try and find a pic of what it looks like lol

 

My tool kit only came with the handle for the screw driver, helmet holder, sponge and an allen wrench. thats it. Honda doesnt supply a full tool kit anymore.

 

if you can post a picture it will definitely help thanks

 

Most bikes adjust front preload with either a wrench or socket of the appropriate size. You shouldn't need a special tool for it. My 600RR uses a 22mm wrench.

 

bikes come with the ****tiest pot metal atrocities to ever be called tools, invest in a good basic tool set if you ever plan on turning a fastener on your bike, your nuts will thank you lol

but a socket like abadfish suggested, or an open end wrench, or adjustable crescent wrench would even be fine for that

 

Thanks fellas just bought a 22mm open end wrench. checked to make sure it was a good fit. It was. Thanks again;

 

Okay got another question the pre load adjusters with the marker that says ten on it. I adjusted all the way to stiff then adjusted to somewhere half way. Does the H/S have to be centered? When I start to adjust it do I just use the full stiff as the full clockwise or at the top to center. Im just trying to zero it in. Or does those markers matter. Or just ignore it and just know which is way is full soft to hard.
