shock removal
1.remove the lower fairing
2.fix the bike to a bike lift if you have one, other vise stabilize it best you can
3. put a jack under the engine, lift up the bike intil you can feel the back it hoovering, the best way is on a lift, strap the front down and lift the bike under the engine
4. undo the bolts, holding the shock
5. remove the bolts, take out the shock
6. take steps 3 + 2
7. put on the lower fairing
it´s vital that the bike is secured, that can be done in many ways, some scaffold bars, 2 by 4´s, leant against a wall, what ever will do the trick
maby get a mate to hold the balance of the bike?

The best way is to use a paddock stand that lifts the bike from the swingarm pivot.
Otherwise, you may be able to used your rear stand to lift it up and onto some jack stands under the foot pegs.
Or possibly a piece of rebar to slide through the swingarm bolt.
