  1. Can anyone give me an idea on cost to exchange the rear spring ? As in they take off the rear shock and replace the spring and refit the shock

    Thanks
     
  2. Not much. I think I paid about £65 for my new spring but that was during a service.
     
  3. Yeah I sort of know the spring price .. Its the cost of swapping it over as its not a quick easy job
     
  4. Takes no longer than an hour all in.
     
  5. Really? I thought you had to remove or at least drop the exhaust .... Could you go through the procedure please matey
     
  6. Support the bike on an abba stand or reverse the footpegs on axle stands.
    Keep the rear wheel supported with a rear stand.
    Undo and remove the ride height adjuster screw from the swingarm.
    Remove top and bottom mounting screws rom the shock.
    Lower the wheel down on the rear stand.
    Remove shock.

    On some cases you may need to remove the main rocker pivot and remove it to get clearance for shock removal.
     
  7. Awesome ... Cheers dude
