The local Hondakawazuki shop had the tool Charged me $30 (0.5 hour) to
replace the spring. I've only put 40 miles on the bike with the new shock
spring, but it's certainly more compliant. I didn't have anyone around to
help measure/set static sag, so I'm guessing with preload settings at the
moment. Initial impression is good, but not amazing. I didn't pay for
amazing, so indications are that I will be a very happy camper...
