Does anyone know or have a contact at Kawasaki Engineering that can tell me the fork spring rate on a domestic market 2011 Versys?

I see various rates on the net ranging from .78Kg/mm to a 80-90Kg/mm progressive rate and would like to know what the actual rate is so that I can fine tune my spring rate to match my weight and riding style.

Have you joined the Versys forum? That is probably your best bet.

Conflicting info there as noted in my OP

I am hoping that an Engineer with inside knowledge will chime in

You're "80-90Kg/mm" should read "80-90N/mm". 1 Newton (N) is approx. 0.1Kg/mm. So 80-90N/mmis approx. 0.8-0.9Kg/mm.

And a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and all other board members!

Oh no, I've made a mistake I really hate--- "you're" instead of "your", and I can't seem to edit it. Isn't editing possible any more?

I got the .78 right and tried to edit 80 and 90 but as you say there is no edit function.

In any case what is the actual spring rate
