If it's the same as the GTS you just do it one notch at a time. It's a bit awkward, so some people suggest wearing a glove the first time . Best to keep both shocks at a similar setting as you adjust it, so as to not make the second shock more difficult to adjust.

cheers

Adding pre-load to one side should make it easier to adjust the other, Shirley?

For the left side - can you take the pet-carrier out? It may give you another angle of attack.

YOu can also remove the lower cowl pieces. just 2 screws one front one rear. pops off and gives a slight bit more room.
