  1. 🔧Technical Discussion - V-650
    Hello guys, long story short, I was attempting my first ever fork maintenance, just the basic stuff, changing seals and bushings, everything went according to plan until I was reassembling my left fork. I didn't pay attention when screwing back the Rod Guide Case and turns out I had it slightly...
  2. 🔧Technical Discussion - V-650
    Hey Folks, Hope the weather is warming up wherever you might be reading this from. Wanted to check in on an older issue that I never quite got sorted. When I come to a stop often I'll look down to see my tach reading a high idle, around 2000, sometimes higher but never above 3k. Anyways, I've...

    Hi, getting my Versys 1000s 2021 soon but I noticed it has only suspension adjustment in one, right leg. Why is that and if Versys suspension is good enough for 100+kg rider? thanks

    I think that most of us can agree that the front suspension on our bikes leaves something to be desired. In my personal case, being used to the high performance fork style found on ZX-6Rs, the front forks on my Gen 2 V650 were dog ****. Too much high-speed damping, not nearly enough low-speed...

    Like to start a thread for people to share their suspension setup. Be sure to also list your weight (fully dressed for the ride). I have found an improvement in ride quality by going down 1 from default in rear preload, left rebound in default setting. Default was too harsh for me on rough...

    Currently my bike has the monoshock set something like this, , with the graded adjuster about 3 settings away from fully preloaded. My question is this: in the manual, it seems like Kawi is suggesting turning the adjuster so the spring is fully extended increases preload. This doesn't seem to...

    Hi I have just read Gustavo's great piece at http://www.kawasakiversys.com/forums/9-technical-discussion/705-science-black-magic-suspension-setup.html. I have always thought that my front end compressed a lot on braking, but when I swapped with another V owner I could really feel the...

    But ill take internet half-assed guesses as well. My goal for this bike is to make a long distance tourer that is capable of tackling gravel roads, dirt roads and possibly double track while still being able to preform well on the street. The bike will normally wear a set of PR3's for...

    Hey! '09 Versys, green, just bought it in North Carolina. Loving this bike - last was a Suzuki SV650S, and I wanted something that was similarly light and fun but with fewer visits to the chiropractor after multiple-hour rides ;) My biggest problem right now is that I'm just not very...
