If it is stock, remove the bars which have the triple plate attached. You will see the fork springs once removed. As far as the rear shock, you will need a spring compressor. I rigged one with some all-thread. A shop can also do it for about $20.

the forks are stock, but i cant figure out how to take the springs off of the metal pieces. I cant get the springs loose to put the new ones in. do i have to twist them or something?

rear shock for stock you just have to heat up the eye hole take out the rubber first, then hold the shock shaft in center as close to eye hole as u can get incase u mar it up it doesnt matter then untwist the eye hole its threaded on the shaft

ok so you cut the springs off, but then how did you get them back on to the metal pieces?
