Help me mod the SV! - Page 4

You used masking tape on ur car, right? lol. You're not heavy enough to worry about modding the forks........It's the rear shock that was always the weak point on the SV. You go over a big bump and it throws you into the air. If you still have your gsxr shock send it to someone to get it set up. Course that would cost you $300 so if your on a budget I'd say forget about it, it already handles better than a DR.

I owned a severely undersprung bike (ninja 250) and a majorly over sprung bike (currently GSXr) and re-valving/rear shock made a HUGE difference on both. Bike just starts to feel like it isn't fighting you all the time. cornering is much more controlled. If you have the money I would set the suspension up. Best mods I have made (thanks Kerry)

Hokie, where did you send your shock?

I'm getting ready to have my suspension redone and looking into the fork rebuild because my SV feels like i'm running over railroad ties a lot when i'm cornering.

But I gotta take care of an oil leak from some jackass who didn't know how to change the oil. grrr shoulda just done it myself. And gotta replace break pads which will prolly happen the same time i start on the forks.

www.sonicsprings.com FTW. Rich is great. Instructions are a piece of cake. You will definitely notice a huge difference in the corners
