hi sv650.org,

I've just bought an '00 650s & I like it a lot

only problem I'm having is that it seems to run wide in corners & need *loads* of steering input to make it round

the guy I bought it off had fitted +10% fork springs to it, so I was wondering whether this might screw up the handling. I am ~14 stone so I've bumped up the rear preload to pretty much max, & the rear shock seems to be okay, seems to be enough damping there

I was thinking maybe bump up the rear ride height or drop the 3-crown thru the forks a little .. any comments?
