Next Basic Question

So, adjusting the front suspension. I assume you use a screwdriver? Is there something else? I tried a screwdriver and it worked, but the blade isn't as wide as the slot so it cuts into the metal.

What do you guys use?

A bicycle cone wrench. Big flat surface, slots in nicely, has a long handle and doesn't chew up the soft aluminum like a regular screwdriver. I suppose you could also improvise with a biga$$ flat washer and vice grips ala McGiver...

I started to type a response....then had a duh moment. I understand, and I own cone wrenches.

There is a tool in the VFR tookit for turning the fork adjusters!

It's the opposite side of either the shock collar wrench or the chain adjuster. (Forget which at the moment)

Well that's very good to know!

I'm not sure I would call what came with my VFR a tool kit but I was certainly glad to get the chain adjustment tool.

A quarter works pretty good. :cool:
