If you have Ohlins springs check the part number etched onto the top of the spring to ensure the springs you have are definatly SV injected springs. It should read 08698.

The GSXR750K5 fork springs as stock are a .85 which work really well in a road SV650 fitted with GSXR750 forks. Unless your above average weight wise. The SV650 fitment springs wont work in those forks due to length and stroke travel of the fork. Sell your SV springs and get the correct ones. No point in going to lengths to put a front end into the bike that potentially when setup right turns the bike into a real gem...and then bodging it! The SV650 doesnt deserve being bodged!

GSXR750K5 Ohlins spring spec:

Length Inner ID Outer ID Wire Diameter Stroke
246..... 23.5-28. 33.5-38.... 5.............. 137

SV650 Ohlins spring spec:

Length Inner ID Outer ID Wire Diameter Stroke
428 .......24.5..... 35 ........5.25........... 212
