[QUOTE="PALMER84ONE, post: 209982, member: 6"] On the rear I just remove silencer, seat, side panels, loosen the bottom subframe, and intake boot clamp on the carb, remove the 12mm bolt on the top of subframe and swing back and down. You can then loosen the spring keepers by pounding them loose with a punch and a hammer (both dirrections works best). Then remove the entire rear shock and turn upside down in a soft jaw vise and finish the swap. For the fronts. Bike stand and remove front wheel, remove front brake caliper from lower fork, loosen fork caps (19mm), back out clicker and count (maybe 12-14 clicks), pull the forks, remove cap the rest of the way and pull outer tube down. 17mm "thin" wrench with 19mm on cap will remove cap to get to spring. I would order a new bush/seal/whiper kit and 2L of oil before I did this job and rebuild the forks while you are at it. Fresh is just OH-SO-NICE! See video on rebuilding forks RMATV.
