Taking another stab at selling this bad boy. I need money to buy tires to burn at Jennings.
As for Brandon's question, I'm guessing that the previous owner wanted a different spring rate and bought an Eibach spring. The part number 0700.225.0525 means it's a 7" spring with an inside diamter of 2.25" and 525 lb/in spring rate. According to RaceTech, this spring rate would be best suited to a 190 lb rider.

* ’98-’04 Kawasaki ZX6R
* ’05 Kawasaki ZZR600
* ’00-UP Kawasaki ZX9R
With some small modifications to the clevis and by drooping the shock so it is shorter it could fit-up on the following:
* ’98-’99 ZX9R ($7.50 DROOP + SERVICE FEE)
* ’04-’06 ZX10R (CLEVIS, DROOP & SERVICE FEE)
* ’06-’08 ZX6R (CLEVIS, DROOP, & SERVICE FEE)
Cost is $95 service/rebuild fee.
Hope This is helpful for you, If you have any other questions feel free to email back or give us a call 610-375-6180
