Shock Removal
Hi again. Its time I have to take my rear shock for servicing-revalve. Is their any easy and quick method of removing the shock, or do I have to take the linkage, exhaust and sub-frame off before?

seems someone recently posted to remove the top shock mount bolt and then you can drop the rear low enough (or raise it?) to remove the bottom bolt without removing all the linkage.

I just did mine yesterday.
1) remove pipe and silencer. 2) remove rear wheel 3) remove front pull rod bolt and swing pull rods down 4) remove shock bolts 5) raise swing arm all the way up, move shock bottom over to the left of the linkage and remove out the right side of bike.

Girard,
Do you think you could get away with removing the silencer and not the pipe? Pipe stinger still in the way? Reason is I have the Hyde and that would have to come off. I never tried it, and would like to do a quick spring swap tonight and still have time for a quick ride to evaluate.

Glenn.
I really did not eye ball it that close. But, I think you can get by with just pulling the silencer. Removing the pipe bolts may allow you to push the pipe down enough to clear the shock.

Thanks for the help, I'll follow your instructions, without taking front pipe off and keep you posted.

I was taught how to pull the entire rear shock off without removing anything off of the bike. It takes a bit to get use to doing it but man when you get the hang of it it is really pretty easy.
Billy Burn's taught me how to do it last year.
