Suspension - Shocking question from a newbie

[theviking]

Ok,
As you might know, I have recently bought my Divvy, a 900. (and I didn't get an owners manual with her)

It looks like she still got the original rear shock fitted and it seems to have pre-load adjustment on it BUT how can I adjust it.
The top of the shock has numbers on it, which to me indicate that it could be adjusted but it looks like a cage and the holes in it are too small for a standard C-spanner. And where it is fitted it is hard to get to with anything else

Suggestions anyone?

TIA

In the original toolkit there is a "c" spanner that fits it. There are seven positions; 1 is the softest and 7 is the hardest (most peeps run on pos 3 or 4). If you haven't got the spanner suggest finding a divvy member close by to borrow one. Where are you?

Doh, just seen where you are; Frimley Surrey. Anyone close by?

I found that a Div 600 spanner also fits my 900 shock preload collar, but while the rotating collar seems to be free, the spring seat wont move. Its been soaked with WD40 a few times but still stuck solid.
