Does anyone own a suzuki Marauder?

[RBlevins]

I bought a used Maruader, and it has the adjustable rear shocks. I can't see how to adjust them, and I can't find anything on the net. Anybody here ever owned one and know how to adjust the preload on them? I'm obviously heavier than the last owner.



Thanks

R,



I don’t have one here to look at but I think that there is a notched ring around the lower part of the shock that you can engage with a spanner wrench that should be in your tool kit. When you turn this ring it steps the spring pre-load up a notch at a time. You may not be able to see this on yours because of the way the shocks are made, but here’s a picture of what it looks like under the covers.

Thanks bigPapa,

It makes sense now seeing that pic, duh. I didn't get a tool kit with it so I'll have to dig around the tool box to find something that will work. appreciate the reply and pic.
