Will a fazer 600 rear shock absorber fit an xj 900

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, check, clean, bypass or replace the sidestand switch (blue/yellow wire & ground).

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

If you are bottoming out a lot, turn it up a notch. If it never bottoms out and is a stiff ride, turn it down a notch.

the solution behind that is to compress the shock absorber and tie it . once secured you can release the top nuts and disengage the shock absorber from the top . Once your tank is replaced , reinstall the shock and you are away .

with great difficulty,three bolts hold the plate that takes the top bush/mounting .jack vehicle up and support with axle stand .Another jack under rear axle ,jack this one up till cars starts to lift then fit the spring clamps and compress the spring.Next undo the 3/4 13mm headed bolts that hold the plate to the chassis ,if you can release them???---??? ,then next using a small bottle jack take the strain on the bottom of the shock absorber and then remove the bolt ,lower the jack and the top one will lower as well ,undo the two nuts on the top mounting and pull the old shock absorber out .Or what i do if back is dancing and thats to do as above to support vehicle ,support lower of shock absorber ,remove the bolt and then jack it up ,then drill a small hole about an inch from the top of the tube and then thread it ,refill the shock absorber with a heavier oil like dextron .fit a bolt into the hole with a rubber washer and its as good as new
