I dont do any insane jumps, at most maybe 20ft, small stuff .

Anyone else have a heck of a time trying to adjust rear preload? I can't seem to get my Ohlins wrench in there from any angle and be able to turn it before I hit some part of the frame, etc.
Am I missing some trick to doing this?

Anyone adjusted the rear preload on an S? I can't really see where the adjustment is coming from, and the manual is useless.
Thanks

I bought a '07 Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan with a Voyager kit installed. I'm trying my best to understand what the preload is all about. I saw one post that recommended 1/2" preload, then I found a post where the rider had his set at 1.5" preload using a 2x4...

It's pretty simple to adjust/set sidewall pressure (that's what I ran all the time).

Ok...my sag is good at 40mm
