Can anyone give me some advice on how to adjust the spring preload on the rear suspension unit, will I have to remove the exhaust connecting pipes to get the ‘C’ spanner in there or is there another way of doing this job.

Also, has anyone got a clutch basket holding tool that I can borrow, I’m located in Crawley, West Sussex.

you should be able to adjust without removing bits,, bit tricky...

Ive got two types of 'C' spanner and none of them work.I ended up using a hammer and a punch.You wont damage the lockrings if you're carefull and make sure the punch is square on.
