Usually used for adjusting shock spring length and called a spanner wrench. |

But you don't need it for an X or XT which has a hand-operated remote adjuster under the seat. |

Actually this spanner wrench is for adjusting the rear spring preload. The shock damping is adjusted by the knob under the seat. |

Alright, Vern, either you're getting oldtimer's disease or you haven't had your coffee yet this morning. Shock damping is adjusted with a screw at the bottom of the shock and another at the remote reservoir under the seat on the right side of the bike. On the X and XT, the knob under the left side of the seat is a hydraulic adjuster for the spring pre-load. You don't need the tool in the pic to adjust the spring pre-load unless somebody has installed a shock from another XB model on your Uly. |

Sorry Hugh.....At 11:24 PM I should have been in bed. Long day. I was indeed thinking of the one that I actually used on my City-X. Never even had my hands on the one that came with the Uly except to move it out of the way. And.....yes.....I may have a remebry problem.....I don't recall. |

What is the "rope wire" in the kit used for? |

The figure 8 wire is used for locking your helmet to the bike |
