Replacing Rear Shock.

Post by Baddie »

I’m replacing my rear shock over the next few days from stock OEM to Ohlins, as I’ve never done this before and doesn’t look like Rocket Science I’m just wondering is there any tips / precautions I need to watch for.

Also Pm me if interested in buying 2010 OEM Rear Shock from a 2010 Zx10r (like Brand New), and OEM headers. Free feel to make offers!.

put pegs on axle stands and pull the sucker out.

then put the new sucker in.

or you can bush mechanic it, and put bike on sidestand and put axle stand (or a jack) under the peg on the RHS and jack the back wheel up that way. just be careful doing it that way.

Do you or anyone else know if the shock will fit a 2010 Z thou.
