Maybe they ask the owner "are you ever going to change the suspension settings?", and that's what you get if you answer "no". Dunno. If no one has a bright idea here, I'll ask when I next take it back to the factory, I'd just hoped to save a year of jacking.

Rear Ohlins adjustment

In the thread about Ohlins adjustment I mentioned that the rear adjusters needed the car jacking up.

This is what I mean about being misaligned when sitting normally:

As you can see, at the angle which the guard limits you to, the top of the nut is hidden and so you’d not be able to get a socket on it.

Likewise the guard wrap around stopping a spanner getting in.

Has anyone solved this?

I did look at cutting some of the guard away, but as you might be able to see a heck of a lot would have to go.

Any ideas gratefully received.
