Stupid ? How to adjust rear shock damping
I know where it's located, & that I have to turn the screw, I'm not that stupid, I read the manual . The problem I'm having, is getting a flat blade to mate up with the screw . What am I doing wrong? A big long screwdriver wont make friends, the swingarm and/or pipe get in the way. I tried a little stubby, in from above, but that wouldn't fit. So what's the secret? Special tool needed, like a rubber screwdriver?

Ok, I went back & tried it again. I'm close, but still can't do it. I think I know why. The screwdriver is hitting against the bolt on the pipe clamp. I suspect that it's the orientation of that bolt that's working against me. In other words, if I loosen the clamp, & rotate it a little, I can get the bolt out of the way, & then I can probably barely connect .

Ok, I take it back, I am that stupid. So I loosened up the pipe clamp, spun it around & then I could just get my screwdriver on the screw. But then when I tried to turn the screw, guess what? I wouldn't turn. I was really getting pissed at this point & thought, let me look on the other side(right). There it was, a tiny little screw, easily accessed, & easy to turn. All this time I had been working on the left side, with a screw that doesn't even turn !
