While getting more familiar with V-Strom today, I decided to reset all of the suspension to factory setting.
Everything went well until it came to the rear preload adjuster which is all but seized. I can move it, about 4 clicks but after that it is solid.
Looking through the forum I noticed that someone had removed the plastic end cap (the bit you grip and twist) and had used a socket - great idea but I can't work out how to remove the end cap - any suggestions ??
It is all sprayed in WD40 and I'll leave it to soak overnight, but if there are any tips or tricks to releasing the preload adjuster, which I suspect hasn't moved in a couple of years, I'd be most grateful.
