    Is it true the 2012 rear shock is better than the 2009 and is it an easy job to switch them.

    Yep... Big difference compared to the original unit. A good cheap upgrade ... It's obviously not going to be as good as ohlins, etc.

    I swapped mine for a new standard shock with mine doing 24k and that was a big difference
    Easy job to do, drop bike onto a couple of axle stands on footpegs, 3 bottom bolts and 1 top and slide it out, 30 mins
