I never thought the standard stuff was that horrendous if I'm honest. However I certainly don't push as much as I used to when I was younger.

Is the old stuff on it currently very worn?
Some times sorting out the basics can really help and making sure the rubber on the bike is newer and not rounded off makes quite a big difference.

I'd probably start with the front springs and fresh oil.
The rear shock should be changed out to allow you more adjustment. As preload is not much in the way of setup.

I changed to heavier weight oil on previous bikes to help stiffen up the front. I was always pretty happy with results.

I've not changed anything on the SV currently but my next port of call is changing tyres to something a bit newer.

From people who have modded the suspension with the above parts did it really make that much difference. Did you go from readjusting mid bend to all of a sudden being a knee down god?
