Re: cleaning the shock
Why do you want to clean the shock then? It'll only rust on preload adjuster.

Re: cleaning the shock
Paddock stand, rear wheel off, crap flap off, easy job then!
Other than that, stop being so paranoid on how clean your bike is! |

I have a car to commute in -  My bike is my weekend therapy so I have something to fiddle with after sitting looking at a computer all week .... and I said "polish" not clean ....  Polish and apply this -  Running out of bits to polish and clean now, so it will be for sale soon .... and I'd rather buy one that's like new than one that has more fur than a kettle element - I was always taught to look after my toys  Each to his own as they say ....

Re: cleaning the shock
When the damping's going off, replace the shock. This should be somewhere around 20-30,000 miles. You may as well clean it while it's out
 .Not helpful?
