Default Re: sv650 fork TLS/R setting

Time for an update:

To start: the fork oil was indeed very bad (and smelled that way). For the shims(/valves) I went to a local suspension expert, he checked them and adjusted the rebound shims a little bit, compression was ok. I changed the oil with 7,5w reassembled them. The forks are back in now (flush with the yoke), I have a slower rebound now with the adjuster half the way in then I had with fully in before the overhaul, I cant wait for the first trackday to test it.
I allso changed the radial 19mm brembo brake cylinder for a conventional (i think 15mm) nissin one to try. The brembo had a very hard lever, so stopping power was no problem, but feel was not very good.
Today I lowered the rear a bit (shock 16-17mm shorter), mounted a Pilot power 2ct(160) for the first test days, and changed the standard rear fairings for an used gsxr poly unit, I allso have the front ones but I'm not sure if I'll use it , I like the 'naked' look with usd forks too.
