You can get an adjustable C spanner from most accesoriy shops..

Or as Neka said, just use a hammer and a screwdriver... I do.. Its quicker and easier.. It will slighlty dent the collar but be carefull and its not too bad..

Or use a brass punch or rod instead of a screw driver and it wont mark the collar.

If you have an 03 model.. Change the farker as it's not going to get any better. Not exactly set up for the road, as it's hard as fark and from what i've heard, you can't fix it. I loved it (most of the time) but that is the riding style i like. Tanya in QLD changed her's, said it was so much better to ride and it was a different bike on the road...
