Removing Shock! Empty Removing Shock!

Post  kevin10529 Tue Aug 18 2009, 15:08

Gonna take it off and send it to firefoxracing.co.uk for a £140 re spring treatment.

Anything i have to watch out for when removing it to send it away? Been told its just a couple of bolts but will the rear end just crumple unless i prop it up wit summit?

Any tips cos am a bit of a newbie when it comes to taking things apart.

Cheers kev.

I did mine last year & the better halfs last week as they seem to be a bit of a trait on the 'cat,
You will need to either suspend the rear frame of the bike to allow the rear wheel to drop or block the frame up off the rear tyre preferably whilst in first gear to stop the block from slipping wall
The sidepanels & undertray also need removing to allow the shock to be physically removed due to the confines around it. Its a fairly simple job but just fiddly, especially taking care with the CDI unit & electrics great
