You may notice on close examination that it only says the damping is adjustable. Triumph actually considers preload not to be a user adjustable item on either the Daytona or the Street. (The reason for lack of a spanner in the toolkit, I suppose.) Dealers will usually oblige.

One thing to be aware of: there is more to the feel of the rear end than the shock. Be sure to maintain correct tyre pressure meticulously. It seems to make a lot of difference on this model.

[Edit:] And now, of course, it appears this may be the solution for some of us:
