JG1 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Buy the IMs pegs. Those bolts are great if you want to spend 25$ on four bolts. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLast time I checked, the IMS pegs were back ordered for a while. I'll check around.

JG1 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I've been staring at this dog bone I picked up a little while ago. Figured I'd go out back and install it today. I jacked the bike up, and slid a crate under the rear axle to hold the swingarm in place. Should I remove anything off the bike before start pulling the bolts off the linkage? This particular bolt doesn't look that easy to access. Any tricks to doing this? Maybe I'm making it more difficult than it needs to be.

locogato11283 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Pull the bolt out of the upper link and the lower shock mount. The whole thing will drop down and pivot at the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG1 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I jacked the bike up, and put a milk crate under the axle and slowly lowered the bike just until the axle touched the crate. I pulled the nut off the bolt on the upper link. I stopped there. I was trying to tap the bolt out of the linkage, but it's so tight that I'm envisioning the bike buckling at the swingarm pivot when I back the bolt out all the way.

375hp banshees Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Ratchet strap the shock ( collapse the spring) Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Sheego Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Block the frame off the ground let the swingarm extend full travel then remove the linkage. Dont try compressing the shock with a ratchet strap, if it lets loose, look out. Start to finish twenty minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So, pretty much how I had it? Upper shock bolt meaning the upper link? Or the actual upper shock bolt?

JG1 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 So, I haven't been able to run the bike yet. Looks like next week I'll be able to. Not sure if this is normal, but when the bike has been sitting for a while, it takes quite a few kicks to start it?When the bike has been running and its shut off, one kick will start it back up.

JG1 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I was playing around with the light switch while the bike was running. The lights on the left side seem to work intermittently as I'm switching between low and high. The lights on the right aren't coming on at all. Does that mean anything in particular?Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
