Rear Shock Removal

[randomwalker]

Is it necessary to remove the fuel tank for rear shock removal or does it drop out of the bottom. Need to have the rear shock serviced and re-installed. Thanks.

You don't have to remove the fuel tank.

I remember unbolting the tank and lifting the rear of it a couple of inches, maybe to make room for the subframe to pivot up? I know I didn't remove the tank but did have to move it a bit. I guess you'll see when you get there.

I plan to do this this week. I'll post an update. Surprised no one has posted a detailed DIY.
