Good job Matt. Well done. I have very much appreciated all the tech help you have given me and fellow riders with our Kreft RC suspension components. If you race multiple disciplines on KTM/Husqvarna there is no finer suspension upgrade than Kreft RC. BTW, that baby blue color scheme and Kreft graphics are outstanding.
Just watched this video as I have to remove mine today. Never removed one before but I feel much better after watching this. You explained and showed me clearly enough for me to do this on my own. Thank you! I’ve also subscribed to you channel for future videos
I appreciate people putting videos like this together, BUT... you made this way more complicated than it needed to be. Pull the mudflap, undo the linkage, undo the top bolt...the shock will drop strait down. With the mudflap removed, pull the shock through the opening. I completed the process in about 10 min and only had to remove 3 bolts (plus the mudflap screws).
I don't do all that work to remove the swingarm. I remove the upper & lower shock bolt, pull the silencer (two small bolts), the seat and tank, and raise the subframe a bit and shock comes out the the top
Just used this video to get my suspension packaged up and sent your way. Piece of cake!
Glad it helped Gordon!

Thanks for the video. Very easy to do with your walkthrough. Thanks

Hey Chris! We're happy to stoked to hear the video helped! We definitely have more videos in the pipeline so stay tuned!
I just removed the linkage bolt and shock bolt and the mud flap then pulled the shock out easy from the back.

Your way is smarter !
I have never serviced the linkage or swing arm so prob good to grease it all anyway but that’s just me
Thanks for saving me at least an hour
Excellent video, thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for the video. I always thought that I had to remove the silencer. Now I have one less step to do.
Thanks for a great tutorial! Gonna pick up a gasgas 125 saturday :D Would really appreciate any maintenance tips to keep it healthy
Thanks very helpful
is it relatively straight forward to replace the bumper stop - mine has perished

Can someone tell me what workshop stand that is?
Pit Posse scissor lift (w/casters version). Best stand we've found!
This tutorial is why they are out of business jeez
Lawdy mamma just pivot the subframe up. Much easier.
That’s how I remember removing mine way back when I had a 2 stroke Kawasaki and Honda. You think that’ll work on these bikes?
