No tool here either, I used a brass punch and a hammer.[sm=icon_rock.gif]

You guys seem to forget that by deleteing the tool kit for '06 the F4i lost a couple pounds.

That's high performance man!

I'd chase down another Honda rider and beg to use his kit....You all are serious, the new '06 didn't include a tool kit!? WTF????

Think of all the money you'll save not having to lug that extra weight around. Thank you Honda! Besides, they have to spend a lot of money on their factory race bikes.

RE: preload tool?

I wondered what the thing was for. I still have it but can't remember what I did with the extension part. Can't get my hand in there to turn w.o it.

RE: preload tool?

you can buy a spanner wrench from sears for $18 new... you will need one to adjust your shock though since the housing is plastic...

honda should have gave you one but here is the link anyway...
