Yea your standard shock is adjustable, like above. Easiest way is to get the rear suspension off the ground. Either try using a bottle jack onto the engine (or a piece of wood first) and get someone to steady the bike. Just watch though as its a tight fit to get the spanner in and turned and it can slip and you skin your knuckles. Ive learned from experience
