1150GSA-Front Shock Re/Re

[Ron from BC]

Just replaced the rear shock without much pain. About to tackle the front but I've read some conflicting reports about what has to be done.

Bike on center stand, slide tank back about an inch to expose top nut of strut, remove bottom bolt of shock/strut. Hopefully it should just slide out?

I have heard that you needed to raise the front end of the bike up more to allow the telelever to drop down further than normal...

Any input is appreciated....thanks

I assume your going to also undo the top nut Thats about it. It'll fall out no problem.
