Rear shock preload cylinder

[Trophyrider]

Just bought a 10 plate GTR and cannot turn the preload adjuster at all. As I am a big lad I need to add a bit but cannot turn it all and cannot work out if it is screwed all the way in and seized or all the way out and seized???

Usual problem on these bikes, undo it from the bike and pit it in a plastic bag upside down with some penetrating oil inside, you might need a bit and leave it to seep inside, it will recover and then you can adjust it.

Debs of this forum did hers and had some pictures of exactly how she did it, my explanation is a rough idea of what she did.

All is not lost.

Thanks for the link OC

Just noticed that Debs takes great care of her knobs as they lay carefully posed on what appears to be pink cushions 



Mine felt a bit rough the other day and this link really helps show you what your going to find 

Nice one Debs

Knobs can be a problem especially after a heavy night!

Over the years I've met some proper knobs

I've seen quite a few driving and quite a few driving like one

If you can't free it up call me I have a low mileage 09 (better made) for sale if required

no sorry, but you can have him for a weekend if you need a pseudo-Kevin to gently massage in a warm & loving environment into shape !! I would say knock into shape but fear I may be arrested
