What is involved in the re-work? Do they just change the oil for thicker stuff or what?

From what I've read about other folks doing this they replace the needle/valve thingy for one that allows adjustment, seems like the version that Kawasaki ship is in reality a fixed rate damper like the ones on Gixxers, just looks a lot more trick!

I really don't have a problem with mine?? I know everyone raves about how shit the standard one is - and i know that compared to an aftermarket ohlins it isn't as good as i used to have one on my 636 but I just leave the standard one on my 10 at full harshness stiff and it seems ok to me?

Fair enough i don't do mono's (apart from on power) but when it's skittish etc i rarely get a problem? Maybe i#m just not riding hard enough eh
