Pointy model differences ?

[Bibio]

as i stated it depends on the design and alfa have been at it for years and know what they are doing. suzuki on the other hand came along and put the other plug anywhere they could get it to go and left the original in the centre all to meet emissions. i also said i'm no expert are you?

spend the cash on the suspension and brakes which in turn will let you go faster. the SV in both guises are a peach of a bike once given good bouncy bits.

What Bibio says. I have a power commander and paid for a custom tune but wouldn't do it again to another SV. The performance gain wasn't massive although power delivery has improved a great deal. You can get similar results from a Yoshi (ECU) tune and for a fraction of the price.

The suspension can be upgraded massively by either fitting gixer stuff. This is what I have done and it is single handedly the best mod I have done. This can be improved on even further by fitting aftermarket suspension but performance to cost ratio over gixer stuff is a little harder to swallow!

Thanks Guys
