YBR125 rear suspension adjustment - what spanner?

Hallo,
Want to adjust the rear suspension on my YBR 125. Expect i need a c-spanner, or hook wrench if you will. Have no idea what size, or from whence such a tool could be obtained (after extensive, and futile, looking). Anybody got any ideas?

Hi, my bike has the tool within its own toolkit (on the bike) - have you checked yours?

Is yours the same model? It might be the year after, with the fuel injection. Mine does not have the tool in the kit, much to my annoyance.

Have you looked under the left hand side panel? I think it`s in there on a YBR - if you don`t have a user manual try here;

Oh yeah, i know the kit is there, but theres only a cheap screwdriver, a pair of pliers and a few spanners, all very cheap and nasty. No c-spanner in there.

On my GS I took it out put it in a vice and used a screwdriver through the eyelet to turn it. The are generally fairly easy to remove.

I have a spare YBR125 toolkit with the C-Spanner. You can have it for free if you PM me your address.

That would be excellent, seeing as i cant quite bring myself to spend more than £10 on one spanner, hahaha...
