Easy to understand articulated flawlessly. I have taken apart and reassembled countless Hondas and I actually picked up on some great ideas.   I especially like the tip on loading the rear suspension when tightening the shock bolts. Hopefully that will help to extend the life of the heim joint at the top of a shock and reduce the dreaded Honda clank when you pick the bike up off the stand.<\/div>\n<div class=\"d-flex

Easy to understand articulated flawlessly. I have taken apart and reassembled countless Hondas and I actually picked up on some great ideas.   I especially like the tip on loading the rear suspension when tightening the shock bolts. Hopefully that will help to extend the life of the heim joint at the top of a shock and reduce the dreaded Honda clank when you pick the bike up off the stand.<\/div>\n<div class=\"d-flex align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"rate-widget thumbsupdown\">\n<div class=\"rating-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"antibot-no-js antibot-message antibot-message-warning\">You must have JavaScript enabled to use this form.<\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbsupdown-rating-wrapper rate-disabled\">\n<div class=\"form-item js-form-item form-type-radio js-form-type-radio form-item-value js-form-item-value form-disabled\" title=\"You must be logged in to vote\" data-bs-toggle=\"tooltip\">\n<div class=\"rating-option-result \">\n    1<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"links inline\">\n<li class=\"comment-forbidden\">Reply\n<div id=\"comment-4512421-forbidden\" class=\"d-none\">Log in or register to post comments<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"js-ajax-comments-id-4512416 comment--node-video comment--node-video--default comment mt-2 mb-0 pb-0 js-comment\" data-comment-user-id=\"44505\" id=\"comment-4512416\">\n<footer class=\"comment__meta author-info d-flex align-items-start\">\n<div class=\"picture flex-shrink-0 me-2\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"manandmachine\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/c50_mgear_2016_1452309315.jpg\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" class=\"img-fluid image-style-thumbnail-comment\" alt=\"c50 MGear 2016 1452309315\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment__submitted\">\n<div class=\"author\">manandmachine<\/div>\n<div class=\"date\">6 years ago <\/div>\n<div class=\"content mb-2\">\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\">Awesome job!<\/div>\n<div class=\"d-flex align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"rate-widget thumbsupdown\">\n<div class=\"rating-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"antibot-no-js antibot-message antibot-message-warning\">You must have JavaScript enabled to use this form.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"links inline\">\n<li class=\"comment-forbidden\">Reply\n<div id=\"comment-4512416-forbidden\" class=\"d-none\">Log in or register to post comments<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<p> Source URL: http:\/\/vitalmx.com\/videos\/features\/OEM-Tech-How-To-Remove-The-Shock-On-A-2019-Honda-CRF450R,17833\/Klinger,64408<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OEM Tech: How To Remove The Shock On A 2019 Honda CRF450R 6 OEM Tech: How To Remove The Shock On A 2019 Honda CRF450R Vital MX Play Again When we get new bikes, it is obviously more fun to focus on the changes we feel on the track.
