Hi Guys I must be going loopy, I'm sure that I remember reading on this wonderful and extremely helpful site an article on topping up or refilling the oil in the rear shock preload adjuster. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to be able to find it, can some one please point me in the right direction.

 :thumbs Well did this this arvo when I got home from work, before I did this procedure I had no resistance on the preload knob at all but after finishing its bloody great, after about 1 turn now there is now resistance and what a difference to the rear suspension. :runyay :runyay :runyay :runyay :runyay

Thanks for sharing Twisted1 - she must feel like a new bike right about now!

Cheers, Diesel

Just done this job. Took less than twenty minutes. I cracked the banjo before undoing the two M6 bolts.

Unclip the hose from its retaining clips and worked from the left side of the bike only. Once the hose is loose you can raise it high enough to prevent air from getting in and just hook it up with a short wire.

Used 5Wt fork oil. The difference is noticeable the moment you drop it off the stand.

Set the STD. Now to set the rest up properly.
