Not great, but I didn't feel they lacked power at all, and I suppose I was just used to the lack of feel (never did get good feel from the SV bits, or progressive power either)
Never had it back since I put the GSXR bits on and sorted the Ohlins, though. Should do a couple of times this year, we'll see how it works.

What did you have done to the forks? Emulators, springs and oil??? Do you know what oil and setting you have in there??? And what model is the Ohlins shock? (you have a curvy right?)
Forgot to mention, the rear brake peddle on the rearsets came a bit loose after the first application, therefore I didn’t have a rear brake for most of the session. On the road, I find the rear brake on the SV is extremely effective!! On most sports bikes they are pretty useless, but on the SV I reckon you are talking 30-40% of the overall braking ability (again this is a function of the front brake performance too), with the rear brake working (leaver done up and threadlocked
), I might think the overall braking is more acceptable?? It just isn’t always feasible to use the rear on track.
