Fits: KAWASAKI VERSYS 650
Combination of Lowdown and Ride Comfort
I am riding KawasakiVersys650 2011 MODEL and Seat height 840mm is still high for me who is 163cm height and 58kg weight.
So I did a lot of research on the Lowdown method for Versys650 and found that there are three ways to do it
1.How to install an Adapter that shifts the rear suspension mounting backward.
2.Change to Shock absorber with adjustable total length.
3.Change to Hyper pro lowdown spring.
1.in the case of the "1" case, Spring is not changed, so there is no change in ride quality.
2.In the case of the "I" type, there are products such as NITRON and YSS, but they are all moderately priced. In addition, if the front panel is also changed, the cost will be high.
3.Hyper pro can be lowered by replacing only the front and rear springs, and is available at about half the price of a rear shock. (Because you reassemble it by yourself, the labor charge is free.)
However, although there were many comments on the SpringKit for Hyper pro, there was little information on the Lowdown Spring Kit, so I was a little apprehensive, but I took the plunge.
As for my impression after running about 200km after the change, as other people have said, the feeling is softer and the thrust seems to have decreased overall. The footing has improved a lot, from just touching the toes of one foot in NORMAL to touching the toes of both feet. I am very satisfied with the improvement in ride quality and footing.
The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes I think it is a bit long on the NORMAL Side Stand.
In the product introduction, the Side Stand was introduced as if it could be used in NORMAL mode, but I think it would be better to shorten the length by 10 to 15mm so that the user does not have to worry about where to fasten the stand.
Also, the color of Spring is Purple, which is the color of HYPERPRO, but I think it doesn't match the color of my current Motorcycle (sorry for my personal preference). (Sorry, it's just my personal preference.)
In a product called STREETBox, which is sold overseas "Black" I am glad to see that some services can choose Spring of "Japan", and I hope that Japan will adopt it as well.

Improved ride quality
We replaced them because they were light in weight and had a fear that they might pop over bumps in the road surface.
I am satisfied with the Large change as it can now handle some bumps. In addition to the ride quality, the maneuverability has also improved, making it easier to turn.
Improved footing due to lowdown suspension (25mm↓) I do
I have short legs with a 74 inseam, and when I stand on both feet, I can only reach the ball of the thumb, which makes it very difficult to maneuver the bike across the ground, but now I can reach the ball of the small toe, which is a big improvement.
It was just under 80,000 including labor charge as I could not replace it myself, but I am glad I did.
[Summary
Satisfied with Large change due to improved ride, handling, and footing.

Satisfied
The car body was Large, so it was full of anxiety about the feet, but the heel has come to be almost attached.
Although it is about installation, there is not a problem, but the diameter of Rear suspension is slightly smaller than OEM, but it is Small, Oil caught about 20 cc.
