FOOTNOTES - Rebound and compression adjustments are the number of clicks out from full hard (all the way in). Front fork oil level is measured in millimeters (mm) or in cc for measured volume. Rear shock sag level is measured in millimeters (mm). All optional spring part numbers can be found at your local Kawasaki dealership.
