Another option for fitting a rear shock sock is to remove the shock. Had mine off and its one of the easiest to remove I've had. Bike on mainstand, put some blocking under rear wheel to take the load off the linkage, remove nuts off connecting arm linkage and slide bolts out, remove upper and lower eye bolts on shock and lift out through right side between frame/subframe.
Took less than five minutes. And you get to see just how little lube Yamaha puts on the needles and pivot bushings. :
Found it helpfull for fitting a shock cover.
Two nuts for connecting arm linkage-43 ft lbs
Lower shock eye bolt -35 ft lbs
Upper shock eye bolt -29 ft lbs
