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.

So they claim.

We've all seen situations where the manufacturer changes something without saying so on their website, because they don't want to admit there was a problem with the prior year.

I thought I remember hearing they made a change for 2010, I'll do some digging.
