This is Suzuki standard for a Pointy, sure someone will be along soon to say if Curvy is the same or not. Start at the standard air gap then see how it feels from there.
Front fork oil capacity (each leg) : 490 ml (16.56/17.25 US/Imp oz) for SV650 488 ml (16 .49/17.18 US/Imp oz) for SV650S Fork oil level : 92 mm (3 .62 in) for SV650 94 mm (3.70 in) for SV650S |

? No idea, I went on website, and from dropdown menus I selected 80n for sv650, I thought they were progressive thou? Its all new to me. I'm now assuming that u don't get different progressive springs and me ticking the 80N box was a waste of a click of a button

You can get any progressive spring you want if you get them custom wound, AFAIK hagon only make a one size fits all option.
But a progressive spring would not have a N/mm number, it would have a range or a curve of N/mm numbers compared to it's displacement Not that it makes bugger all difference. Fire the 15W in, 110mm air gap.
