1150gs Rear Shock replacement

[Spud]

About to replace the rear shock on my 113,000 mile Gs as it's still the original.

Is there anything special you need to know before tackling the job. Or is there a "How to" video anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Rear wheel off, straight forward, you might need a blow lamp to warm the loctite on the bolts, they are a nuisance to remove the first time

Plenty on YouTube, just type it in and follow. There's one really good one in Spanish but you do not need to spk that language to understand and follow it.

Plenty of heat from a hot air gun and take it easy with the lower bolt work it back and forth a bit or there is a risk of stripping the threads out , much simpler than an LC rear shock swap
