Does anyone know which springs does the RSV4 come with F/R?

Am curious to see what is the Aprilia intended weight range, especially in the rear where I always end up swapping the spring for two rate down (no 2 up for me on sport bikes).

Thanks.

don't know about the shock yet but the Ohlins FG616 fork has 10.5 N/mm springs

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure about the FG616 ref? I couldn't find anything on it.

However Ohlins lists the shock parts and it's got a 9.5 N/mm spring.
Please see pix attached.

Thanks Amauri!

So to sum up, the front is at 10.5 and the rear at 9.5. Alright, looks like I'll need to swap both ends, since I'm at 142lbs in my birthday suit...
