At the bottom of the spring there's a collar.

Turn this. Usually it has numbers on it, the higher ones being a stronger setting for bigger loads.

You will likely need a special spanner to do this adjustment.

Can be had from most M/C parts shops, mechanics etc for the horrendously expensive sum of around THREE of your English pounds :D

Or you may have gotten one included in your bike's tool kit.

It's also much easier to twist the collar to make adjustments if you get the rear tire off the ground unloading the weight off the springs (either by using the center stand, jack under the frame, or a rope tied to rafters etc).
