Just a small sugestion: at the point when you dive the front suspension, put the motorbike On, to actívate the Skyhook system. Without power, there is no hydraulics at all. Nice set of videos, by the way

Hello. Thanks for your feedback. You're right in the way that the weight load can be smoother when the suspension is active. However, the service manual does not say that the ignition needs to be switched on. That movement is to make the shaft to settle in the right loaded position by the weight of the bike. But I admit that sometimes even the factory manual I have contains funny things. ;-)

@@xabierperezfiano4411 I haven't removed it yet so I don't have any video. What I can put down here is the following:
1.: Remove the seat.
2.: Remove the rear LH side body panel.
3.: Remove the seat latch.
4.: Remove the retaining bracket of the preload control.
5.: Disconnect the rear shock absorber preload cable connector and rear shock absorber adjuster cable.
6.: Unscrew the upper and lower screws of the shock absorber.
7.: Then slide the rear shock absorber out with its electronic preload tube.
I hope it helps.
