Hey all.

Just fitted ZX10r rear shock to my curvy. Preload is set all the way out, and I have no C spanner to adjust it.

Anyone know of a place I can get a C spanner that fits (apart from kawasaki)

M&P Accessories, or Thefastone.co.uk should sell them, or there is always Ebay

Plumbers wrench with the jaws at full width does an OK job.

I got mine from the local Moto X shop. It is only a cheap one but works.
It doean't have the sizes stamped on it, so can't tell you what size to get, but it has 2 different sizes. From what i can remember, even with the right size tool, it was still a pig to adjust, (no room to get the spanner in) so i removed the unit and did it off the bike.
Trouble with this is it makes tweeking a right pain. Mike

It's just a 'C' spanner as I recall - measure the diameter of the notched ring and then go buy a suitable tool - they're not dear.
