       Video on how to remove rear shocker on the ktm690

       IMO definitely
       worth watching.
       There is a snap lock fuel connector behind the LHS topmost sub
       frame screw. To separate the connector halves a button on the
       fuel connector must be pressed. On my bike this button was
       located on the side of the connector closest to the centre line
       of the LHS&RHS of the bike. I found that if the sub frame is
       rotated up, as suggested in the video, the battery holder plate
       makes destructive contact with the plug at the LHS rear of the
       air box and also with the RHS rear corner of the air box. I
       found that it is better to remove all screws connecting the fuel
       subframe and gentle moving the subframe 2-3 inches to the rear
       of the bike so these pipes and cables can be identified. Once
       the subframe is reconnected via the top subframe screws, then it
       can be rotated upwards whilst observing the possible crush
       hazards of the airbox plug and fuel connector.
       It is IMO worth filing the battery holder plate to remove/reduce
       the sharpness of the metal that makes contact with the airbag
       corner and plug.
       Reconnecting the two fuel connector halves is also challenging
       as there is insufficient slack to drop the fuel pipe down once
       the fuel subframe is in its normal horizontal position. I found
       it was possible to line up the plug and socket of the fuel
       connector during the rotation of the subframe. On completion of
       rotation, pressure via two screw drivers can then be used behind
       each connector half pushing the two connect half toward each
       other until the connector button engages on the other half of
       the connector.
       This design could be improved!

       Thanks for posting that! I see a shock R&R in my future, been
       putting it off to long.
