what is the best rear shock (price and quality) to put in a sv650K4 (Naked)

[kwak zzr]

is yours shagged already or you just thinking of changing it?

[hall13uk]

tbh i never see the point in changing the shock. imho why not just buy a better bike to start with, i mean once you have done all the mods like scott oiler, lowers, screen etc to go any further u may as well spent an extra £2000 on a bike :?

i just want a better quality shock, i am a big bloke and i take pillions alot and i want a yellow shock

anyway scot oilers r poo, lowers would look crap on a naked bike and i cant buy a better bike till my restricers come off and i have paided for it. i just want it to look nice

tho i did buy a offical suzuki screen off a k5 but i haven't fitted it yet.

Whilst it isn't absolutely ideal as far as as settings go, considering the "£ v Benefit" equasion, the GSXR shock swap has got to be considered a good deal.

Other than that then consider all the usual suspects: Penske, WP, Ohlins etc etc.

what do you think about the screens

i have 1 in black that i nicked off my mates bike

[kwak zzr]

i think a small screen looks good on a nekid!

Keep an eye on eBay... You can pick up a GSXR1000 K3+ shock for anywhere between £30 - £60... You won't look back when one of these have been fitted...

Maybe need to look at fork springs too though ;)

Does the SV need to be modified to take the GSXR shock? Could I just turn up at a Suzi dealer with the shock and ask them to fit it? WOuld it matter whether the bike was in or out of warranty if I did??

Have you ever ridden an SV? :roll: There's a definite satisfaction in parting with just £50 and an hour of your time, which transforms the handling of your bike.

Look out for a GSXR 1000 shock on Ebay. K2 or later will do I think, red or yellow spring. It is more or less a direct replacement for your SV shock, and considerably more effective! They go for between £10 and £60 depending on use.

Because better bikes cost more to start with, cost more to insure, cost more to crash, are not always beginner friendly...

Instead of spending £1000+ on things that don't actualy make the bike better, you could spend £150 on front and rear suspension and completely transform the handling.
