Need some information on SV650 Forks - SV650.org

Hello

I was wondering when the SV 650 got preload on the forks.

Also wondering if the forks are the same from since prdouction started or have the forks diameter changed, if so when and from what diameter to what diameter.

Cheers

Preload caps started on the K2 bikes.

41mm i beleave has been the same all the time. The fork lowers are diffrent though.

Ok so all the stantions are the same width 41mm then what about actual preload caps? Does the inner thread width differ?

I got them on mine and just fitted them straight in... though I also had 15w oil and some new springs put in.

The 2 models have different fork tubes, a preload adjuster for a curvy doesn't fit in a pointy.
