'13-'17 bikes.

1) Remove rear wheel and silencer.
2) Remove horse shoe lower link and lower shock bolt.
3) Pivot swing arm up and support with bungee strap.
4) Remove upper shock bolt.
5) Lower shock out the bottom of the bike. The swing arm will have to be cycled to allow the shock to fit through.
Thanks TONS. I was reading the owners manual of my 14, and it got too crazy to follow along. This is much more straightforward. Now to figure out how to remove my front springs, as I think they are WAY too stiff for me. I bought Jason Dahners bike, who was a pro rider, and I believe he had it super firm for his 'racer' style of riding. I can't hold a line for nothing on my bike,
