F4i Spring Question - 6/19/2005 10:25:11 PM

Hey all- is it me or is that silly little wrench supplied by honda a bit short for turning the adjuster on the rear spring. I tried to turn up the suspension on my F4i from a 5 to a 7 to see if I would feel the difference in ride. Well, all I did was bust up my knuckles and pop the adjuster past 7 and now its stuck between 7 and 1 and I cant get it to go in either direction! I rode on it today and the suspension feels fine, but I think I should get a pipe and stick it on the end of the wrench for some leverage. Does any one know if I should try to continue going past 7 back around or will I over turn it- should I try to pull it back down to 6? I just dont want to destroy the suspension, any tips would be totally appreciated.

My 2-cents,
Do not continue on past the last seting.
turn it back to 7 and
see how the bike feels.
If you wont it softer
go to 6 ect...

Hope this is helpfull.
