Shock removal
Whats the easiest way to remove the shock. Remove subframe, top shock bolt, ???

Strip it. That's what worked for me. Four bolts and a couple of odd pieces for the subframe, about 20 minutes total as I was learning the bike. Pops out straight up from there, installation is the reverse.

Funny you should ask. I just did mine last week.
I sent this to gasgas-HI and it worked for him. 1) remove pipe and silencer 2) remove rear wheel 3) remove bolt for suspension linkage dog bone at swing arm only.Pivot down. 4)remove both shock mounting bolts. 5) raise swing arm up all the way. 6) lower shock to the left side of the suspension bell crank, enough for the shock to clear the upper frame mount. 7) pull the shock out on the right side of bike.

I will try this. I just did the linkage 2 weeks ago so I dont need to do that. Bring on the TTX

I tried to do it like that, but without taking the pipe off (PIA Hyde!) just the silencer. No joy. What I did do, and is an option that works with the pipe on, is free the spring while the shock is still in place, and remove the damper and spring separately. Since I was sending the shock out anyway this was fine with me.

So gasgasman are you saying I do not have to remove the subframe?

Thanks Gasgasman, this worked great on my 2011 ec300. Taken me about an hour but I took my time.
