Default What is the best way to adjust shocks on KFX 700 without the wrenches?

Lost tool kit and now after doing some jumping and bottoming out I realize that I need to adjust my shocks. They are presently set at the second notch, I would like to take them to the fourth one I guess. And that back one looks real hard to do. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Put it up so the wheels are in the air then turn the fronts by hand. It is helpful to have a second pair of hands!! While the wheels are in the air put some WD40 on the rear shock then hit it with a screwdriver and hammer. This will loosen it then you can adjust it by hand. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the help, I'll try it this weekend. Any recommended settings for track riding? I weigh 180.
