RD125 rear shock re-assembly
« on: May 17, 2022, 08:23:53 PM »
Evening folks,
Looking to reassemble my rear shocks but not sure how to compress the springs with the cowling in place !?
Has anyone done this and if so how !
I reckon I need to depress the springs by about 100mm which seems quite a bit.
Any advice / help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Pull the damper rod out to its fullest extent. The spring does not compress a lot then.
