In that case, Y-C has it covered. Maybe a better rear shock when the standard one is worn out.

Would the zx rear stock fit? if so what model? and which front springs are best?

Have a go with the search function, you'll find plenty of threads on those two subject.

TBH if you've only just passed your test or only just got the SV, then leave it alone and save your money on petrol, it is a bit squidgey on the front end, but its perfectly adequate if your just starting out in your biking career...

If you put a few miles on it before you start fiddling with it, then you'll be in a better position to evaluate the changes you've made or are making.
