Hello all,
I am new to the board here and it seems that there is a wealth of information shared here on the SV model bikes. I was hoping some of you could help me out. I purchased a 2006 SV650S and I am really enjoying the bike however I tried to adjust the static sag today and the closest I can get is 100mm in the back and 40mm in the front. I read a racing article that says you want inbetween 32-38mm in the front and 28-32mm in the back. Well I am about 230 pounds not sure how many kilos that is I think about 100 or so. Anyway I was wondering if any of you know of a solution for the rear shock. Perhaps a new spring or something to that extent. I have found springs and shims and emulators for the front forks but nothing for the rear. I figure since my rear is so dramatically off I should start there. I am looking for a good and economical alternative so maybe I should adjust the front end to have more sag for the time being but I have heard that may people use the GSXR shocks and are satisfied with the results. Would the GSXR shock be a quick swap or is there a lot of work involved? Well thanks ahead of time for your responses.
