YSS rear shock adjustment question on R1150GS

BMW R1150GS 2001

Hello,

Could somebody who has got the same YSS rear shock on R1150GS please confirm spring preload can/cannot be adjusted without taking it off the bike?

Many Thanks!

Did you buy the prelude ad adjuster?

It's a few hundred more expensive. To answer your question, yes, you will have to take it off.

I'd play with the damping/rebpound a bit before you touch the spring preload.

Prelude adjuster. Chrikey. iOS auto correct is a pain. Remote preload adjuster...

Thanks, Smelly!

I will just send my OEM shock for refurbishment then.
