Re: Front end question
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

Re: Front end question
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.

Re: Front end question
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).

Re: Front end question
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
