fastbob Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 How do I go about removing the rear shock on my gsxr 1100 WP with very limited facilities? Any tips on how to support the bike when the shock is sent away for repair? All I've got is a rear paddock stand but I guess that won't help much. I have no overhead beam or winch . Ideas / experiences please. Quote
Tango Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 An ABBA stand would be the best option I think...... Quote
fastbob Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 Errm sorry folks but I've found the solution straight away on Youtube. So I'll take this opportunity to pass it on instead. All you do is put the bike on the paddock stand , loosen all the bolts then put a car scissor jack and a block of wood ON TOP of the tyre then use it to push the wheel down . When the load is removed the shock can be removed without any bother. So simple but I probably wouldn't have thought of this myself. http://i.imgur.com/uMAmqMm.png Quote
Stu Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I was going to say use a block of wood between the tyre and subframe but it seams you have figured it out Quote
