I have a 1999 GS 1100.When I bought the bike it came with a new front and rear Hyperpro springs still in their boxes and the spring compression tool.
Having just got back from a 2 week tour around the UK I decided it was time to fit new springs. 2 up with luggage bottomed the suspension out a few times.
I have found a couple of posts but still can't see for the life of me how to get the rear one apart. I can see a grubscrew next to the remote adjuster fitting which I backed off but compressing the spring does not make it obvious how to get it apart.I understand it's held in with a checirclip but can't see how.
How far do I need to compress them?
I did actually manage to compress them from the wrong end at first and discovered that the rubber bump stop that sits inside has completely disintegrated. Any suggestions on this?
Many thanks. Mark.
