Modern rear motorcycle shocks utilize threaded aluminum lock rings that are notoriously difficult to adjust with standard hook spanners due to tight frame clearances, exhaust pipe interference, and crowded airboxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eConstructed from brass, the punch tip is deliberately softer than the aluminum or steel preload rings found on rear shocks. This material difference ensures that force applied via hammer strikes drives the ring smoothly around the shock body without burring, gouging, or damaging the adjustment notches. The tool features a heavy-duty steel shaft with a textured, non-slip knurled grip that gives technicians precise tool control when striking in tight swingarm cradles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNon-Marring Brass Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Brass end absorbs hammer impact force and turns shock rings without rounding, burring, or damaging aluminum or steel preload collars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTight Clearance Access:\u003c\/b\u003e Slim profile reaches deep into tight frame cradles, subframe junctions, and airbox cavities where traditional hook spanner wrenches cannot fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeavy-Duty Steel Body:\u003c\/b\u003e High-tensile steel shaft withstands repeated hammer strikes without flexing or bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTextured Handle:\u003c\/b\u003e Textured surface treatment provides a secure, non-slip grip even when hands are covered in grease or fork oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUniversal Utility:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for adjusting preload, sag, and locking rings on all dirt bike, dual-sport, and adventure motorcycle rear shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eWhat's in the Box:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e1x Motion Pro Shock Spanner Punch (Part #08-0483)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eApplication Notes:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUsage Method:\u003c\/b\u003e Position the soft brass tip flush into one of the notches on the shock preload lock ring.

Steel-on-aluminum impact immediately shears the notches off the aluminum locking ring, throwing metal shavings down onto the shock body threads. Once these aluminum shavings get caught in the fine threads, the lock ring will gall and lock up completely, requiring complete shock disassembly or body replacement.

Once clean, spray a light lubricant (such as WD-40 or silicone spray) on the threads. Use the Motion Pro punch to back off the top locking ring first, adjust the main spring preload ring to your target race sag specification, and then drive the top locking ring back down securely against the main ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gjg45SwLLsk?si=5gFgGWAmgJNhJ-F-\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tmbrmoto.com\/collections\/motion-pro\" title=\"Shop for Motion Pro tools, parts and accessories at TMBR MOTO.
