Weak Soft fork springs on V2?

Does anyone know the specs on the stock V2 springs? I see the part number, but not the specs.

The suspension philosophy is set up for a rider who trail brakes into a late apex followed by aggressively straightened bike for corner exit. This is why the soft front with hard rear.

If you use track tire pressures and techniques it'll behave better.

If you can't then you'll have to make changes to the bike.

That makes sense and matches what I see when riding in that manner. Since my V2 is a Street/Track Day bike, I also need the ability to not bottom out when panic braking on the street. My current stock fork springs are just a tad on the soft side for this. Stiffer springs would hopefully allow me to soften them for the track and stiffen them for the street (but not so much as to prevent using most of the travel). I would like to go up a level but I am not sure of the stock springs specs.

Thanks,
