Default Lowering 600F3

I just recently bought a 96 600F3 and the guy I bought it from also gave me a lowering link. This is my first bike and I am somewhat mechanically inclined but mostly on cars. Does anyone have a step by step on doing this process? I heard it's super easy I just want to make sure what I am about to do is the right thing. Thanks.

Question - Why do you want to lower it?

Ah, Ok... It's fairly easy, even easier if you have help...

Do you have a dogbone lowering link? Remove fairings and seat, Remove chainguard, unscrew the nut off the bolt holding the link in place, at this point have a frien hold your subframe up so it doesn't fall down, remove bolt (knock it out somehow).
