It is indeed fairly straightforward - you just need to find some way of supporting the rear end while you detach the shock. I use step ladders and a sturdy spade or similar under the subframe.
If your 696 is ABS, you should be able to remove the top mount nut without having to lift the tank. If it's non-ABS, the tank is different and you may have to raise it slightly to get enough clearance to undo the nut.
Both the top nut and the shock bolt should be torqued to 42Nm after applying molybdenum grease.
