What size socket wrench does the front preload adjustment nut require? | ||

I want to say 3/4... | ||

I use a 22mm long-reach socket. | ||

The one that came in the toolkit? I know, it's a spanner, but it fits, so why not use that? | ||

The socket makes adjustments quicker and easier, especially if you're doing a fairly extreme adjustment, like going from one-up to passenger loading. Wrench in the toolkit is fine for minor tweaks. | ||

I use a regular 22mm with an extension, which is the same socket that I use with the axle nut to take my wheels off. | ||

Due to a combination of laziness and no riding time over the past couple of weeks, I only today got the suspension fully dialed in. For the '08 models, it is the 3/4" socket you need. The 22mm is WAY too big. |
