2009 vstar 950 suspension adjustment

[@jeffwarren2895]

Many thanks. Made the mod very easy for me as a novice and made a huge difference in the ride by reducing by two notches. Just what I was looking for!

Thanks bud !! We need more videos like these so a guy like me never has to buy a clymer manuel.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the info. I might be able to do it myself. I love your Freudian slip calling the G wrench the G Spot. I am not sure that my bike came with a G Spot...

[@bhforsyth]

Thanks. This helped particularly the tip on the big screwdriver for leverage. That ring is hard to turn.

Is this video somehow in reverse image, everything on my bike is on the left side when sitting on the bike?

[@aimeemotorides8454]

Did this adjustment stiffen the suspension or soften it? Either it was not specified or I missed it. I want to make mine more firm.

This can also be accessed from the other side of the bike. One allen wrench to remove the painted cover. Once that's off just insert the tool above the upper belt guard with the included extender. No screwdriver required to move it on my end. The owner's manual also depicts doing this from the left side of the bike, not the right although I don't think it matters much. Just wanted to point out an alternative for those not wanting to do it your way.

Thanks Ryan. I have a 2011 and I'd swear the manual shows the other side of the bike and alas, my took kit did not have either tool (I purchased pre-owned).

His video is mirrored

Lift the tire off the ground for easier adjustment.

[@eddiegonzalez7298]

Do the notches have numbers so you can see what level its on or what level im putting it on?

[@bhforsyth]

I did not see numbers on mine. The notches were easy to count though.

[@ronaldashton6014]

If you jack up the back end the wrench will turn the adjustment easier.

[@AS-li9bb]

did you say "G spot"??

[@IBDaddyO]

A G Spot tool eh? Lol

[@mglyn]

Den bike auf einen ständer stellen,hinterrad entlasten , dann geht alles einfacher.

[@SP33DORIDER]
