Video tutorial

To replace the rear shock absorber on a Kawasaki Versys 1000, loosen the bolts that secure it to its housing, located just under the seat and at the beginning of the rear swingarm. To remove the shock absorber, the bolts to be removed are accessible from the right side of the bike at the bottom of the seat.

Once the bolts are loosened, slide the old shock absorber out of its seat so that you can fit the new one; after installation, check that everything is functioning.
