1984 250r. I need to tighten the rear shock. What are all you guys using to get it tightened down? Every store I’ve gone to has some weird spanner wrench that doesn’t look like it will work.

They do work, sometimes it's easier to take the shock out to adjust it because it's hard to get much of a turn on it with everything in the way. I have used a flat punch and abefore I had a spanner wrench but that takes days off of your life! I bought a wrench soon after that!

Catch me if you can
Take the weight off the shock/swingarm and clean the threads, then WD40 the threads and the lower end of the spring.
Loosen the top lock nut then grab the whole spring with a rag and turn it. The whole spring will spin and the adj nut will go with it...

need help, rebuilding rear shock on 83 R. the reservoir rebound adjuster knob, balls and spring are missing along with the internal flow rate piece that the knob controls and screws into. Having ZERO luck sourcing these parts. Any advice? Can i steal the one off a 200x shock body? if so, how the heck do i even replace it. thanks in advance
