Its easy. Some risk with releasing the high pressure gas but plenty of info on it out there. Some good you tube clips about it. Hardest part is setting the floating piston height which requires some care and precision. The rest is just out with the old in with the new

Congrats Nunz!     I am going to ride my 26 850XRS for another season and will make the jump to a 900R for MY28 and sell mine with 2 years of warranty left on it.   

If I have 45 years left I plan to ride for 50 of them.
