dbarb3 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Ordered a new M Shock for 02 Lemans. What exactly has to be removed for removal/installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Tank, sidecovers, airbox ? But not necessarily the swingarm. (Although, it might be a good time to perform all of the swingarm/drivehaft/ U-joint/ clutch bleed maintenance?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbarb3 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Well no ride report yet but it sure is purty This model has single adjustment for compr/rebound which is fine by me Straight from their facility in France < $500 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footgoose Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I have Ohlins, so no knob like yours but I could easily get my fingers to that area reaching from the rear over the tire. Feels like there is maybe 20-30mm between the shock top and the airbox where your knob is, so not much room. If you have svelte little monkey hands it's doable. I don't know how stiff the adjuster is to turn but I'd maybe think about somehow enlarging the diameter of it for more leverage. I didn't pull the seat to see what access is from there. Possibly a little tool could be made 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
