Default how to adjust suspension on 650i

i'd like to turn that suspension up front up and down as different rides dictate but i don't really know how and don't have a tool for it. looks like some special tool is required. anyone know how and pics would help greatly. thanks, jason.

Next time I will use channel locks. I used the tool in my kit which looks like it would open a 5 gallon paint bucket.
I one had to use gloves and put a 1/2 inch ratchet extention on the end of it for leverage.The back left was so hard I whipped of the Wheel to get a better bit range but the front went pretty easy.
So Yeah the stock tool kits are still as primative as 2 flint rocks and some grass.
By the way anyone have any suggestions for shock replacement for the bf 750?

6 ply mud tires might help handling just as much. that's what i'm thinking about right now. might need my winch less too! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

i to think the tool kits are a joke. the spaner wrench does work but you really need a towel wrapped around the handle or something. god forbid they put a little something on the handle. i've that if i keep my shocks well soaked in wd40 after i clean it that the adjusters turn pretty easily. as for aftermarket shocks for the BF 750, i was thinking the G-series with rebound adjusters from Works Performance, or Elkas. the works are the cheaper of the 2(if you can say that lol) but either one will run anywhere form $1000 to $2000. maybe more if you get the extras like remote res.

A THOUSANDS OR TWO BUCKS! Cheese and RICE! Come to think of it those stock shocks are awsome, Don't you guys think so? Unless I get ran over by an armored truck I think take off tires and shocks will get me where I want to go. This Quad thing is a pricey drug habit.
