Join the club. i gotta do it wednesday or thursday. All i can tell you is what i learned by asking. I was told to either remove the fender or remove the shocks. Removing the fender is so that the tire won't be blocked by the fender as you pull it out the back. removing the shocks is the other way to accomplish the same thing because this way the swingarm will stay down and you can jack the bike up high enough to get the tire out. I'm probably going to remove the shocks since it's very easy and quick. After you're done i'd like to hear what you found as far as obstacles or tricks to make it easier. I'm not looking forward to it myself.
