question about suspension link(knuckle) removal
Whats up guys, Last year I must have hit something because I was changing my exhaust the other day and noticed a chunk missing out of the link.. Plus it is cracked now... Anyway, when I change that, do I have to support the center of the bike? I have it on the rear stand now, but was just curious....

You need to support the bike. It's the same as putting lowering links on.

where is the best spot to support it in the middle, I have it on the rear stand now, I always put the jack under the knuckle when I do the lowering links, but I obviously cant put ith there now....

You can support it where the centerstand tangs are, depending on what kind of jack you have. I have used a floor jack and block of wood to support it there.
You can also flip the footpegs over and set them down on a pair of jackstands.

That's a good idea with flipping footpegs and jackstands!!

right on guys, I did the trick with the jack stands and flipped the foot pegs upside down, it worked out great, and did it by myself....

freaking geniuses. I need to adjust my rear shock "dog bones". I have vortex rearsets with pegs that do not flip so they should hold the bike on a couple stands while I work on the rear bones I think.
