Fork Springs

#1 PostAuthor: sneck » Thu Oct 02, 2008 6:53 pm

According to the Kawasaki workshop manual the standard length of the Z1 front fork spring is 495mm as standard and the minimum length is 485mm is this correct ?

There seams to be some confusion over the length

Where can a pair of fork springs be purchased from Z power don't stock them, any ideas?

Thanks Sneck
