A good service of your brakes and braided hoses make a huge difference to the braking on an sv... I can.vouch for it, and my name is because of it

I've stripped and rebuilt the calipers with red rubber grease etc. so they are nice and free moving. Braided lines is on the list.

You can pretty much do it for free if you're lucky, but shouldn't really cost more than a couple of hundred quid. Once you've done the front, you'll definitely want to do the rear, so you're looking at anything from £80-500 to sort that out (Gixer shock through to a Penske).

Is that really the case? I've read that before but I'm worried I will get left with an sv650 front end having bought all the gixxer stuff
