Hi,
The adjustment is via shim. They are the standard small shims used on loads of modern bikes. I used Triumph ones as the dealer is the closest shop to me and they cost about £4, just go and speak to your local bike mech and if your lucky they may have the correct size in their work shop. Just push the arm across on its spring and remove them with a magnetic tool. I use two tools so one takes out and one puts the new shim in otherwise you end up droppin shims in the motor when your swoppin them over.
Chris.

Just as VV Sucks says, shim type easy to do, prob the easiest I have worked on, I swapped a few around and did an exchange trade with the others with my local bike shop. Triumph make smaller ones than Suzuki should you need them.
