More Newbie Questions...

A couple other issues: One is the rear suspension. Is there a trick to reaching that adjuster ring?!
Next is the seat. The factory seat is ok , so far, but it does tend to push me towards the tank. Are there aftermarket seats for the '05 GS500F? I have had a hell of a time finding any. Are there any cushions (placed on top of the seat) that are worth while?
Another question is about the bars. I noticed my left hand and wrist getting sore (take it easy with the jokes!). After closer inspection, I noticed the bars are uneven, i.e. slightly bend. As it is a solid bar, how difficult are these to change/replace. Would I be able to just "hammer" it out?
Thanks!

spanner wrench is preferred on the adjustr, but a hammer and flat head work in a pinch...
Sure, there are aftermarket seats for anything, but you do not need one. Get some stomp grip or tech spec type friction pads and use your knees to keep you put.

The bars are easy and cheap to replace...
