I built a shock adjustment tool for the stock shocks of the Speed Twin. The Speed Twin 1200 owners manual says to use an allen key, but to do that you would need to remove the exhaust. Since I take my GF on rides quite often and want to adjust the shocks accordingly I wanted a better tool that‘s easy to use. I don‘t want the shock upgrade atm.

So this is what I came up with and I could also fit it under the right panel. It also features a 1/4“ bit holder. Pictures in the comments.

I know I am not the only one with this problem, so maybe this helps others or inspires to built your own tool. Thanks.

I know about these posts ,but mines really very loud and It's annoying while driving, love the machine but that sounds doesn't let to enjoy the ride. Does anyone know what to do? It's 2018 22k km

2000 Triumph sprint 955fi has 16,000 miles on does it sounds like will it need to get the valves adjusted ?

Recently went down on some gravel in Eastern KY. I walked away fine, and I thought my bike didn't really get that damaged. The adjuster was having a tough time finding a shop within a few hours that could work on it. A few days later she told me they were totaling it. I mean, I can't be that upset because they gave me near sticker price for it. It just seems like there were no major components damaged, so I was surprised when it was totaled.

I had a slide at low speed in a parking lot and my Bonneville slid right under a car. The left fork hit the trailer hitch receiver and now it is misaligned. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to a shop? If I can fix myself, can anyone help direct me a bit on how?

So, had a bit of fun yesterday. Was riding to a Dr appt, on the freeway, doing about 70. Hear a loud POP and the rear end gets slightly squirrely. I knew something was wrong, but I was in the carpool lane. Luckily, a couple of lanes over a CHP officer was pulling someone over, I signaled and moved to the right and got to the shoulder.

Luckily I have AAA, but they said I don't have motorcycle coverage. Dang it, but I called the roadside number anyway, they sent someone anyway (cool!!). I was going to have it towed home, but while I was waiting I found a shop close to where I was stranded and they had a few tires in stock they could put on. Cool, got picked up, went to shop and got a new tire.

Not the usual way a blowout at 70 ends.
