having just built a street fighter curvy sv650 with gsxr front end stage 1 cams rejetted carbs and ixil twin high level cans. i am getting a vibration through the gilles rear sets so much so if I do more than 60mph for a period of time them my left foot starts to go numb. will balancing carbs make much difference ?

also suspension feels harsh and unforgiving on bumps also at higher speeds while accelerating its twitchy.

not had an sv before and its a number of years since I had my cbr600 which was so smooth and ridable compared to this.

any ideas pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Keep it simple, check chain tension first.

Baph is right...keep it simple ;)


*Check condition of Chain/Sprockets and alignment

*Engine mounting bolts

*Sub-frame mounting bolts

*Carbs...balancing

*Check rearsets too.

Rubber mount your rearsets?
