Left versus right shock adjustment
I am not sure that jacking the front helps much so don't feel guilty!
There is still a substantial pre-load on the springs even when the wheels are off the ground. After adjusting the right shock without much effort, I thought I could do the same on the left side. After applying much more force to make it move, the collar spread around the shock tab instead of going up one notch. I am sure there is something about the direction of the wind of the spring that appears to consistantly cause the issue on the left side instead of the right. Lube may be a solution but I really don't thing we should have to wash the bike after a simple shock adjustment. I have not seen the BRP billet adjuster option in person but it appears to be stronger in this area.
Enjoy the ride and keep up the great reports.
