Has anyone had any luck adjusting rear suspension without a spanner wrench???
If so what effect did this have for moderate trail riding?
I was able to adjust the front by jacking it up & using a hammer/punch! set it on the second from the lowest setting.

Has anyone found any "free mods" such as induction/exhaust modifications that wont affect the warranty?

Does anyone else find the narrow seat a real "pain in the ***" (literally) on long rides? lol the small grips are quite annoying as well!!
Im not complaining, I love this thing.
I have 200 miles on it & have proven to some friends that ride a Rancher & an Eiger that they made the wrong choice!!

Spanner wrench cheap compared to broken collars using punch and hammer. BE CAREFUL! Channel locks will work,but can scar up collar. Check with dealer,a lot will give you one, If like us have em laying around everywhere! Good luck
