2000 SV650S with GSXR Front End

[andyb]

Well it's time to move on as I'm getting a ZX6R, so I've got my lovely curvy for sale. It's a 2000 (W) in Grand Candy Blue. It's done about 19,500 miles but I'll check and get an exact figure.

Modifications as below:

Datatool Veto Evo Alarm
AlphaDot security markings
K3 GSXR Front End with Ducati clip-ons for more comfort
Carbon effect belly pan
Carbon effect hugger
CCC end can (original included too)
Skidmarx undertray (colour-matched)
Dark F Fabbri DB screen (3 weeks old!) NOT the blue one in the photos.
Wavey rear disc
HEL braided brake hoses front & back
Honda CBR Regulator & Rectifier
Chewys Stainless Allen bolt kit
Chewys mirror extenders.

The chain & sprockets were replaced at 15,000 miles & last service done at 17,500 which included Front Brake Pads. Front tyre has done 4000 miles rear 5000 but still has a lot of life left in it. There is a slight scratch on the tank and some on the back of the left mirror. There is some paint flaking on the engine but not as bad as some I've seen. I also have the paint to sort this which I will include too :) Otherwise I can't see any marks and NO dents.

MOT due April, tax due end of March.

Any questions please ask.

got any info or advice ??

There is info on the main site, I've copied it below.

s the GSXR 750 front end a straight bolt in? From what yrs?
Pre-SRAD gsxr stuff goes right on, only requires changing the steering stem bearings from ball to roller. EZ. The hot racing setup: get a 98-99 GSXR600 front end. Its fully adjustable and as light as they get. Its also (arguably) too short, requires a custom upper triple clamp that allows the forks tubes to sit lower than they normally would. You'll also need to press in the SV (or pre-SRAD gsxr) steering stem into SRAD lower triple clamp. Add gold valves and it doesn't get any better than this. The downside is cost, its the most expensive front end out there, the wheels are expensive, and the upper triple will set you back a couple of bucks as well.
For pre-SRAD stuff, get a 93?-94? GSXR 1100 front end (kayaba forks). These are the longest gsxr forks out there, allowing the most adjustability. The 750 Showa forks work too, but are 15(?)mm shorter. If I did it over again I woulda held out for a 1100 front end, more ride height adjustability.
Does this require changing the rear shock as well to maintain balance between the front/ rear?
Yes. If you stiffen up the front end w/o increasing the rear ride height you will find that the bike has way too much weight on the back of it. As you get moving quickly (100? mph or so...) the bike will start wobbling, then headshaking. Bad. Very bad. When I bought my bike it was stock, it was friday pm, and I was racing the next day. Added preload to the front forks to get the proper sag. It wobbled BAD. Dropped the front ride height, and it still wobbled. Played around in EVERY morning session (****ed off race control..) trying to get the bike to work, then I gave up and put it back to stock preload and ride height and it stopped wobbling.
Is there a tangible gain for the average street rider?
No. If my SV were a street bike I'd put emulators (and springs) in the forks and a GSXR shock on the back. For about $400 you'd have a top notch suspension setup. The emulators are outstanding, I raced them for 3 years on my hawk and highly recommend them. They provide 90-95% of the benefit of a cartridge+gold valved front end, and I honestly believe they work better than a non-gold valved cartridge fork. Nope, I'm not sponsored by race-tech, I just think their products are outstanding...
