C Spanner for Rear Shock?

Post by Mav617 » Tue Dec 23, 2014 5:20 pm

Hi guys,

Anyone know what size C spanner is needed to adjust the rear shock? My bike didn't have a toolkit (they are like rocking-horse poop to find online), any other models that fit (R6, TDM etc)

Thanks,

Excuse my possible ignorance but aren't they all roughly the same? Certainly all the C spanners I have seen look alike.
'95 4NX with K&N filter, Motad Venom cans, YSS PD valves, Ohlins fork springs, 530 C+S, Green CDI, 11/16 radial master cylinder, +30mm jack up dog bones. Enjoyable money pit.

Thanks Phil, but don't really want to pay £40 for a toolkit, all I need out of that is a C spanner to fit the shock collar. Guess I'll buy a few and try them all.
