Removing Rear Shock

[Rick]

The shock come out the top, right where the airbox is....so plan on removing the:

1. seat
2. side panels
3. silencer
4. lossen clamp to airboot to carb bell
5. remove the (2)bolts that attach the subframe to the back bone of the frame, lossen the 2 bottom subframe bolts, lay the subframe back just enough to get the shock out.
5. remove dogbogs to allow for lower shock bolt to be removed(watch for bushings and thrust washers)
6. remove upper shock bolt...
7. pull out shock.

Just a little .02, if your going to do swingarm maintenance, strip the bike of all parts from the fuel tank back, rear tire, ect, ect. Much eaiser to tackel with all that "stuff" out of the way.
