I just this week purchased my first ST1300. It's a 2004 model with 95k miles, and upon attempting to adjust the rear preload with the bike up on the centerstand I cannot get the adjustment knob to move either clockwise or counterclockwise. So is it common for it to be really hard to turn? If so I can put a tool on it and apply more force, but I don't want to break the mechanism. Any ideas before I attempt dis-assembly and try to figure out what the issue is.
Thanks in advance for any help.
