positive, kawasaki cheaped out on the rear shock. Hell, for the front forks they through in some springs set for a 400 lb rider and said ""fudge" it". It's also been said by some members on the 650 boards that it's one of, if not the easiest bike to turn the adjuster on they've ever used.
If you want rebound and damnpening, you need a penskie shock, which are $$$ like woah ($700 i think for 2-way)

x2. CA is pretty strict on emissions. Do some research first. Didn't CA pass a decible inspection law as well?

YOU HAVE TO HAMMER IT!
Be it with the "special tool" or not. You need a hammer to undo the locking ring.
Secondly the rear preload does not have "settings". It doesn't click into place or show a number it is as simple as UP IS SOFTER AND DOWN IS HARDER.
Damn, you be ignorant...
nope, if you have the right tool. you won't need to hit it w/ a hammer. or maybe you still do but it sure as hell won't require forcing it with a screw driver.
regarding the pipe... all AM pipes is not street legal here. everyone does it and as long as you're not doing anything very dumb, cops don't usually care.

I think most cops have better things to do than worry about some bike's pipes, unless he's having a bad day. What I think everyone was asking is the inspection part. Unless you are going to swap your stock exhaust back onto the vehicle for inspection, how will it pass?

I dont know how it is in CA, but in PA, they dont test emissions on motorcycles, so I woudnt think they'd really do anything if you had no cat.
Unless they have to visually check for one...
