- Welcome to the first video of our Moto Edition series where Josh will be transforming a 2006 Yamaha TW200 into a phat cafe style cruiser. Each video will focus in on one part of the build and highlight tips and methods on how to get the job done even if you're on a budget.
In this video, Josh demonstrates how to take apart and re-assemble your shock and spring without a spring compressor which is a specialty tool that you will rarely use anyway! You only need a few items you probably already have in your garage!

This was incredible helpful. And did work as described. I had a bigger jack so I was using three points. Thank you!😊🥳
It’s so damn dangerous.. and cheap! I love it!!! Well done! Will be using this!
Thank you for sharing this. You made it seem a lot easier than it is. It took me at least an hour to position the straps in such a way that the shock absorber raised straight enough for me to put in the plates.
So... I tried this. I ended up using a threaded rod through the bottom eye of the shock and attached two more ratchet straps as the shock kept slipping from the saddle. It totally worked and felt medium safe. My newly powder coated spring was not damaged by the straps at all.
I actually did this again last night. I repeated the threaded rod trick and still used 4 straps. The shock didn't slip out once. Once on, I turned it upside down and compressed the spring from the other end so I could set the preload with ease.
Thanks for posting! Used it today on a single shock to swap from a 750# spring to an 850# spring. Took a couple tries to keep everything even and straight - but went easier than expected!
I used this method today. Worked really well. Thanks. I have previously tried various methods to remove shock springs with everyday tools but none have been as successful and easy as this method.
This was very helpful!!!! I did it and it worked perfectly
Brilliant video I’ve got my rusty springs to remove this week so glad I come across this demo thanks again for taking the time to upload.
Excellent thanks, this worked for me on twin shocks from an 1100. My buddy's spring compressor used for cars was too big to grab on to the spring coils, so need must with this being a great plan B.
It flopped to the side off the jack a few attempts, but I got it to work well. I'd strongly recommend using long nose pliers or similar to remove/reinstate the slip collar, because if it flops off the jack at the wrong moment, it could really damage your finger(s) if they are in the danger zone.
ingenious, thank you so much
Worked perfectly, top video, thanks fella
Cool! Looked safe and controlled, well thought out.
Thank you very much! This worked very well but doesn't make it less sketchy!
Thanks, will try tomorrow!
Wow dude I'm so using this! Way better to do er this way rather than buy a tool you'll only use maybe twice lol
Totally!
Love it!!! I hate having to buy special tools for something I will probably do once a decade.
🤙🏽
Very helpful thanks mate
Thanks, worked for me.
Top man! I used 3 straps all good glasses a must lol
Bro you’re a life saver
This is brilliant 😘
Thank you
Good Job!!!! thanks Bro
Nice job - I've got a rear shock from a Ninja that I want to repaint the spring on, I might give this method a try.
Great trick I did it on a 95 kn for my tenere 700 thanks for the help
Glad it helped
This worked perfectly on KTM 690 Enduro rear spring. Not much spring pressure needed once rings fully backed out, so no safety concern. Installed an X-TRIG with spring spec'd for 230lb. Thanks!
Good idea
I used to own a Teenie-Weenie. It was a fun trail bike because those fat tires would just soak up rocks and roots instead of sliding off of them. The ratio difference between 1st and 2nd gear was quite large so I often started in 2nd gear and that worked fine. 1st gear seemed to be designed for very low speed use, like manuevering in mud or something like that. The only problem I found was that the shifting was very sticky, but that was probably just the bike I had. I'd bought it used and perhaps the previous owner bent something in the linkage.
Great video I’m sure you inspired a lot of people . Great minds think alike . Keep up the good work .
haha, brilliant! and from someone who just ordered a tw200 to putt putt around wahiawa, thank you for NOT speaking pidgin english. and im actually hawaiian so i can say that.
Wow great idea. I tried getting a strut compressor on mine, but there is not enough clearance.
Dude that thing could shoot out of there like an arrow and knock someones Jimmys clear back to kansas . Just weave a couple of rachet straps thru the springs and crank um up pulling the spring together in the middle .
Nice hack. :)
This looks incredibly dangerous.
Mildly
Pure BULL $&!%... Does NOT work and just attempted it. Been working on motorcycles for 28 years and can verify this method is trash.
