While the 08+ normally has a yellow spring, it's not the spring color that is most important. It's the length/adjustability for one, and 2... the resevior on the shock. If it's not the right shape and location, it won't fit on your bike without some major mods.
The 08+ version has been confirmed to fit right.

Regarding spring color, someone on the gstwins.com forum (this shock is becoming the popular replacement shock on GS500's, as it offers more adjustability than the Kat 600 shock which was the old standard.) got it straight from Yamaha that there is no weight rating difference between the colors. Certain color springs were matched with certain paint schemes solely for aesthetic reasons.
Someone upthread mentioned not having seen an '08 R6 shock with a red spring. I'm holding one in my hand right now.If you can't be a good example, at least try to be a horrible reminder.

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.
