Optional Rear Shock Absorber Springs
Various rear shock absorber springs are available
to achieve suitable rear shock absorber action in ac-
cordance with the rider’s weight and track condition.
A harder spring stiffens the shock absorber action
and accelerates the rebound damping.
A softer spring softens the shock absorber action
and slows down the rebound damping.
WARNING
Improper removal or installation of the rear
shock absorber spring may cause the spring
and/or related parts to be ejected at high ve-
locity. Always wear eye and face protection
when working on the rear shock absorber.
Removal and installation of the rear shock
absorber spring should be performed by an
authorized Kawasaki dealer.
