Why do that ??
Put the bike on the main stand (if no main stand, work is a bit harder,
but still posible). Take a old long (not too sharp) screwdriver. Open
the UPPERr screw first, by putting screw driver in one "tooth" of the
crown and some hits with hammer. To open -> hit on right side of screw !
Now lower/liften lower screw with same method, until you are satisfied.
Finally, close upper screw again, so lower screw won't move accidantly.
There are companies called Ohlins and White Power. Both sell a
suspension for Africa, where you can increase/decrease pretension via
hydraulic screw. I prefer this method over the screwdriver :-)))))
