yeah its pretty easy on most of them - problem is the best way to adjust the rear is the outer splines - but there the hardest to get out

basically its removing the rear axle from the swing arm

then remove the spring plate covers

turn how ever many splines as required and re set

making sure both sides are exactly the same

im super busy for the next couple of weeks so im no help im afraid Sad
