Default Re: Linear Suspension Linkage for 2nd Generation SV650

The overall ratio stays about the same... initial part of curve is still 1.75:1 or whatever it works out to be.

It is what you want. It gets rid of the annoying pointy tendancy to be squishy then kick you up the *rse. It probably made sense for suzuki to do it but when you've got an aftermarket shock it means that the end of the suspension travel is effectively set up wrong.

Curvy linkage doesn't work on pointy.


I looked at doing them, they won't be particularly cheap, and I'd feel a little odd taking GrahamB's design work for profit so I'd probably have to design my own from first principles. Still wouldn't be cheap and only the geeks buy them
