Rear shock before tail end mod Gen1 - grapyono - 20-01-2018
A bit over a year ago I had a list of things I wanted to do to fix up my ride.
- New front rotors
New rear rotors
New fork springs
New head stem bearing
Recondition rear shock
Change tail from gen 1 to Gen 2
apparently my order is wrong. I should have done the rear shock before the tail end. I went to remove the shock yesterday and almost blew my valve! Because I have already completed the tail end I had to strip off the rear upper fairing, loosen the under-tail plastics, move the plastics back. This just to get the shock out. It is supposed to lift straight out but the change in sub-frame prevents this from happening. Thought I would tell the forum so that you don't make the same mistake i did. One hour job become million hour job......
