As long as I'm on the bike or stood on the left, it's fine. I can just about get the steering lock engaged, but the P position is impossible. I think of it as extra security

Re: New season - New project SV650 build
That's a hella quick turn around! I'm impressed, what will you be doing with the light on the front? Any progress in a week?

This week has been mainly riding the wheels off it and enjoying every minute! I softened up the preload on the GSXR shock and it feels a lot better, in fact I'm beginning to wonder if I need to do any fork alterations at all, it handles great as it is. We shall see. Although the front brake reservoir seems to leave a fine mist of brake fluid on the tank after a spirited ride and as you can see in the photo below, the coolant pipe on the left started dripping after a run. Need to keep an eye on both and resolve ASAP. Out testing a Gyrocam:

Re: New season - New project SV650 build
Good vid there Redmist, have you managed to deduce which GSX-R the shock is from? From your brief outings how does it compare to the ZX10R one on your race bike?

Re: New season - New project SV650 build
Very cool, but I'd find it a bit odd with no clocks in front of me.

For me there is not too much difference, I believe I could stick on some numbers and quite happily race it tomorrow so its close enough. I think I need to dial in a bit more compression damping as it tends to blow thru the travel over harsh bumps, or I need to put some preload back in. I'll try get the missus to measure my sag at some point (Snigger snigger!) Yeah its a little odd, but I'm used to it having run no clocks on my track bike for a while, really the only thing I miss is the fuel and neutral lamps. Hence why the KOSO dial will soon be on.
