Which is because either it's topping out, or there's too much high-speed damping.

This is not a conventional fork, remember. And yes he measured it and it barely moves.

All I'm saying is if you got proper sag with only 1 turn of preload from full soft, then they must be using one hell of a stiff spring rate. So that means anyone lighter than you would probably be forced to swap to lighter springs.

The sag is not measured the same way as a cartridge type fork.

Bingo...we have a winner.

Kawaski slashed prices on all 09s. The 6r was 10,049 one day and 6,999 the next. No changes for the 2010 model.
