Ohlins BM 888 Rear Shock...setting hydraulic preload?

[100%]

Hi all!

I just finished putting an Attack triple clamp and Ohlins Cart. kit on / in my S1000RR to get it ready for the coming season. I'm to the rear shock now. Does anyone know how the hydraulic preload adjuster works on the BM 888 Ohlins rear shock? Do I need a special tool? I've always worked with a spanner!!!??? ; - )

If someone could help me out here, that would be great. In short, does anyone know how the hydraulic preload adjustment works on the BM 888 rear shock?

Do I just throw a hex on there (that little nipple deal) on turn in clockwise?

That is correct.
It is an 8 MM hex.

I thought it was 6mm, but then mine has the nice gold knob.

8mm is the right size... shock went in no prob.!!!

now I'm having problems with the Attack Per. triple clamps fitting with the Ohlins steering damper. I'm working with 26mm, 4mm bushing, of offset in the triple clamps. I just posted a thread about this issue...
