Removing a mono skid

[Darren Betker]

As it says im going to be removing my 121 mono skid and was wondering how exactly to i undo/unplug/remive the wire that goes to the electric ohlins rear shock?

 

[Winderallday!]

The wire follows the tunnel towards the front to a hole with a grommet and leads up to a harness/connector in behind the chaincase.

I unplug it and tape to inside of tunnel so you don't hurt it when removing and installing when reinstalling I always unhook weigjht transfer rod at rear to put in then just pry back on rear axle to get bolt back threw I find this easier when doing it alone

 

[Darren Betker]

So it unplugs at the shock itself?

 

[Darren Betker]

So thats a no then?

 

[tedgoesfast]

Yes unplug shock has lock clip on it

The Ohlins sled I worked on had the wire leading into the shock routed and bundled with zip ties to the swing arm, so it was protected from ice. Getting that all back in place is a pile of work imo.
Just locate the white snap together connector behind the chain case/reverse lever and pull it down through the grommet hole in the tunnel and take it all out without disturbing the zip ties and routing.

Anyone I've serviced has rivets holding wire against inside of tunnel so what do you do drill them out
