Emulators
Right. I've decided I'm going to buy some Racetech emulators. The firmer springs and thicker oil have improved things a lot over stock but the high speed damping is far too hard.
Before I go straight to PDQ for the emulators are there any sv650.org recommended retails? Anyone who is particularly helpful when it comes to setup etc. P.

As for setup, it is down to personal preference, though the instructions will give you recommended settings for road or race setups, so start there and adjust accordingly. robw#70 knows a lot about these, so maybe drop him a PM or he may be along shortly anyway.

Ringding, I started off with 15w oil and 2 turns of emulator preload - the result was harsh with not enough rebound damping. After talking to the Racetech folk I changed it to 20w oil and 1.5 turns of emulator preload and it is much better - firm, stable and not harsh at all.

Emulators from PDQ are around the £110 mark I believe. Not sure if they could help with setup (fitting is easy), but there are a number of people (inc. me) with the emulators who can give you setup tips.

Thanks for the tips guys. I guess I'll go ahead and buy them and see what the setup instructions are like.
I'll keep you posted!

With 20w oil it was way way to firm! |
