Die young, after a long life.
I've read the thread about removing the rear shock. I know this may sound like a stupid question, but here goes:
When the rear tire is removed so that the swing arm is all the way down, is the shock at its extent of travel? In other words, I'm asking if the spring is exerting force on the swing arm, so that I have to worry about getting hurt, or is the shock at full extension so that the spring is being contained by the shock?
From what reading I've done, it appears I have to remove just about everything behind the steering stem to get this thing off, but I'm still reading. (I had to do brakes anyway, so the rear tire and mufflers are removed now.)
Thanks in advance.
