My K3 work in progress

@sam61 you mean the rear preload adjuster right? Easy fix. These shocks are serviceable.  All you need is a set of spring compressors and basic hand tools. No need to release gas and oil etc if only rebuilding the preload adjuster. They get full of road grime, just need a clean out and repacking with new grease, but you need to remove the spring to disassemble them.  As DD says, will save you some coin.

This could save you money my old potato.

[sam61]

Sam, just keep at it. I dont pretend to know much but in 11 yrs, this Org and old one have helped me lots on knowing my bike. Some very clever people. Ive put a lot of advice into action, reckon my 14 would ride as good as anyones, i find it an amazing motorcycle and ive had a few. Takes a while but worth it.

You'll be right, Sam61, have a go, and be safe in the knowledge that the collective wisdom on here will help you out (or at least you will provide some discussion points). This place is a great source of info and knowledge.
