Can anyone tell me the standard adjustments for a 1990 k5 (already usd fork)?
I know that i have to adjust it when riding, but i?d like to start from standard settings.
I also heard they are mostly set for 75kg people, which is pretty much the weight of my carcass...

thx

Keep in mind, your weight has nothing to do with suspension "clicker" adjustments. Clickers simply adjust the speed at which the suspension reacts to absorbing bumps. Spring rates are what needs to be matched to your weight, and skill level. Generally Kawasaki sets the spring weights for a 175 lb. intermediate rider. If you weigh more or less than 20 lbs., then a spring rate change is suggested.
