Upgrading the suspension on a pointy
 

Hi. I've only been riding my SV for a few months, the main problem i have with it is the handling.

With out a doubt its a very comfy bike and i could ride it all day every day, but i'd much prefer the back end to stay where it is, and for it to be planted in corners, insted of 'wollowing' about. Whether its because ive just come off a highly modified supermoto, and i'm still adjusting to the differences i'm not sure.

Either way im thinking of up-grading the suspension front and rear, and help or advice from anyone that has been in the same situation and has gone through with up-grades would be very apprieciated.

Thanks :)

Emulators, firmer springs at the front and a nitron sport shock at the back with some BT021's completely transformed the bike for me.

I found it went so fast I had to get a faster bike with an engine to match the handling!

Yup, GSXR front end is nice, but a properly set up front end would be better, and a little cheaper.

GSXR1000 K4 shock on the rear with a new bottom bolt , and some Hyperpro Springs on the front with new oil .

They are, from a K5 600 IIRC, but maybe a 750.

I dont wanna sound rude, but you wont believe how many times somebodies asked the question about suspension upgrades. Have a play with the search functions theres hundreds of threads out on this subject out there.
