Couple questions... what is the best way to get the swing arm off the ground? I have a cherry picker but don't see an easy way to sling it?? Does the rear tire need to come off?? How about seat subframe??

Thanks !!

I searched and didn't see anything, if there is another post please direct me to it!

I have aftermarket rear sets on both of my YZF's, so I do the following:


put bike on rear and front stands
remove the back wheel
place jack stands under rear sets
unbolt shock linkage
loosen top shock bolt
lower rear stand ensuring the rear sets are on the jackstands
remove top bolt
remove shockInstallation reverse of removal.

Got this accomplished, took out the horizontal top bolt, not an easy one man job!!

Thanks Again!!:)
