Changing rear shock?

Peg stands are the way to go. Pull the rear wheel where the swingarm will move easily also. Jack stands work in a pinch, if you don’t have rearsets on it slide a bar through the swingarm bolt and support it from there.

Like this on my Tuono with stock pegs.

Made my own 'jack stands' in a pinch. I drilled a hole in 2 2x4s, and I put my Vortex pegs through them.

Front wheel in a Baxley chock; rear wheel removed. I lifted rear end, and I had my wife put the 2x4s on each peg. I then dropped the rear of the bike so that it was sitting on the 2x4s. Swapped the shock. Everything was stable and easy.

edit: This obviously would only work with fixed pegs. It will not work with OEM rearsets that fold. Same deal as using jack stands.

Actually this probably could work decently with stock pegs too... If you made the hole small enough it would prevent the pegs from being able to fold up.
