Rear suspension tool
Is it just me or is the tool you get with your SV to move the rear preload up and down pretty naff?
 The metal rounds too easy and I ended up using mole grips which isn't ideal. Does anyone have any tips to adjust the rear preload easily?

Re: Rear suspension tool
Ah cheers. I thought Suzuki were the only dudes that did this part.
 I did a search and they are pretty cheap. You get adjustable ones but not sure if i need that just now.

Re: Rear suspension tool
The standard tool is fine - unless the adjuster is a bit sticky.
