#4Yeah I used a ... hmm.. special tool.. errm.. called ROPE.. to hang up my bike while I changed the old suspension for Hyperpro stuff
I put a small car sissor lift under the engine and lifted up the bike. BE SURE to get help while lifting the bike.
The rope I used was a bit elastic, like a rubber band, so I had to lift the bike up high, tie the rope as tight as I could, because when you remove the lift, the bike will drop a bit.
Use something that doesnt flex like a rope can do.. maybe a hook on both sides of passenger foot pegs, and then a metal chain to the roof or an engine jack-stand.
I just went ahead and did mine.. and doh, i needed some way to jack the machine up, so I just took some rope.. took some time to do it the right way and get it high enough

#5Now I'm confused.
I've looked in the KTM parts listing and there is no mention of this "Rope" you speak of.

I tried rope before I got this but beware - the bike is very heavy and the 'stretch' on the rope makes this a difficult way to do the rear shock.
