Shouldn't be that hard. Jack up the front end until the wheel is off the ground. Remove the handle bars, or at least get them out of the way. Put a towel / blanket / pad on the tank. Unscrew the top nut. ONE SIDE AT A TIME. It might pop up as you get close to the end of the threads. Pull out the spring. Throw in a new one. Press down gently as you start the threads. Be nice. Of course, this info is for the Touring model only.
