Lozzo

I'll go along with what's been said before. I have a K3 naked bike with standard forks which have fresh oil in them, they're a long way from being perfect but still capable. There's also a K5S in the garage, which has Racetech Emulators, .85kg springs and 15W oil in the forks. This bike is excellent, there's more feel from the front end than I had on the Triumph Daytona 955i that I had before and it handles brilliantly. it's well worth buying a Sport and spending the little extra to upgrade the forks, it makes a capable bike into a fine handling one.

As far as brakes go, the standard brakes/lines on both my SVs are more than up to the job. My ex has a K3 naked and I just fitted braided hoses to that, it really improved the stopping power on the standard pads. No doubt changing the pads for something a little more effective would improve them more.
