Welcome :)

Take off all heavy stuff. You need to keep the engine though.
Don't crash.
Stock fork springs are rubbish. Fit some stiffer ones unless you weigh about 6 stone. Stock fork damping is equally bad, fit cartridges, emulators or GSXR front end depending on your class rules.
Stock shock is also crap, fit a penske, ohlins etc.
Don't crash.

Who are you racing with?

not sure at the minute but might be north gloucester
oh yeah dont fancy crashing

Re: newby to website and racing
 

fit crash bobbins- r+g are the best for the pointy
lockwire the sump plug and other engine plugs
Fit a collector bellypan €40 from ten kate unpainted
Throttle change depending upon rules
new exhaust to race spec (depending upon db limit)
better disc and pads and braided lines

The list is very long talk to the racing lads on here

I recommend giving your forks to Maxton and getting their cartridge kit for them.
Maxton rear shock is good too.
If lockwiring oil fluid entry use an R clip.
Lockwire handlebar grips
Use a large jubilee clip on oil filter and Lockwire it
Move the battery to the front
Captive spacer on rear wheel _ changing rear on SV is a pain
Get Wets on Wheels
Tyre Warmers - I recommend Diamond as the customer service is second to none

Welcome to the Org :smt039

As for racing then good luck ;)

As for sorting the bike well what the other have said. Sort out the suspension as theres no point in modding the engine to feck and still running stock suspension.
