I’ve been trying to figure out the spring preload on my 04 888 for a little while. I know you can adjust it internally. But I can’t figure out how to move the cap holding the spring down to show the c clamp that holds the cap and adjust the spring preload. I was wondering if anyone knew any special tricks to get the cap down.

just push it down with your fingers. the only thing that is holding it is the spring

the metal ring that sits on top of the spring might just be lodged over the c clip. i'm not sure what to suggest in this situation b/c i've never owned a 888
