How in the world do you get to shock adjusting ring? Trying to soften the ride.

It's such a weird angle to get to it with the tire on. Tech said get to it from the top. Almost impossible.

look in the owners manual it shows how to do it thru the coolant resivor cover
Is that the cover with the special Torx? Can't find anything in my book.

No, the right side is the coolant. an allen key and a push button plug removes those panels.
Thank you. But I don't see a way in there though from that side. I will check again though. Thanks.
Only instructions I can find are on page 4-14. Says how to adjust, not how to get to it.

IF you do ever get to it, let us know if its much softer or not. I wanted to do this also
OK...gotcha.
Thanks......thought I losing my mind to comprehend. :D I'll check it out. Appreciate the help.
Made the adjustment from the tire side. I put the special wrench assemble together and tapped down so would not come apart very easy. Looked in from right side cover to line up wrench in holes. Then pulled and walla, moved one notch, then another grab and kept it up till got down to #1. It did soften the ride some what. Big bumps are there but not as harsh. Smaller ones are almost negligible.
SO, well worth the discomfort for a few min. of work.
