I measured the links that I'm currently using. 158mm

The oem links are 165mm, according to a search.

Shorter links raise the back of the bike.

The shock I'm using looks exactly like the ones pictured in searches for "09 GSXR shock" -- and it has the same yellow spring.

After doing some math -- and figuring that it was indeed the stock 9.5kg/mm spring, with my body weight of 165lb [75kg] -- standing on top of the spring caused it to compress by 10mm.

According to my calculation -- if it were a 9.5kg/mm spring, and 75kg were applied to it, the resulting sag should be be 8mm. I measured 10mm so not sure what that means but it's supporting evidence that I do indeed have a 9.5kg spring.
