I will make sure I am around to help you.....the rear shock to adjust pre-load. Wow.....I've never had a bike where suspension adjustment was remotely as difficult as all of this! Please tell me that I have this wrong!

It can be done in about 5 minutes, including figuring out what to do.
Ratman did put a post on here a while back with pictures, very helpful.

- July 06, 2014, 07:50:45 AMI don't have the Drifter shop manual yet. (Just got the bike last week). I downloaded a standard Vulcan 800 manual. It describes removing the rear shock to adjust pre-load. Wow.....I've never had a bike where suspension adjustment was remotely as difficult as all of this! Please tell me that I have this wrong!
