Preload adjustment seized

Post by Deejie »

Hi all
'13 1200rtp
The under seat adjuster can't be turned anymore. Well not by me anyway.
Common problem? Suggestions for getting it moving again warmly welcomed
Cheers :cheers:

tap it very lightly with a cow hide hammer, at the same time as you try to turn the adjuster.
Had to do it with my vfr1200f and it worked for me.
