    Default $100 For Shock Adjustment Tool?

    For cry eye! I tried advanced Auto Parts, Auto Zone, and Harbor Freight - nothing.

    Then I tried O'Reilly's and they are $100!!!

    Default No way...😲

    I have a drawer full of them all sizes and shapes never more that ten bucks. I have found that a Plummers strap wrench works well on most.

    I agree a good strap wrench will work. And not the rubber type. I like the strap type

    I got one for like $6, with about a 6" handle, but it won't budge to next stiffer setting!

    Do I need to jack up bike or something?

    Jacking up the bike would help to release spring pressure

    If you jack it up taking the weight off the spring, you may not even need the tool to adjust it. Spring and upper perch should adjust pretty easily. Ryker does not even have a lock nut on the adjuster.
