Altering the handling/geometry

Was wondering if it's possible to get the SV to turn in quicker by changing the dogbones? Has anyone messed about with this ? What were the results like ?

You really should have searched mate, there's loads of very obvious threads on this, shorter dog bones rise the back, and if your mad enough to try , drop the yokes through the forks 10mm to add a wee bit more.

I havent personaly, but i believe others have and have said it does, try adjusting all your preload first to the correct set up or if it feels better, ive got my front on softest and put cable ties on the forks, your meant to have 10mm between the bottom yoke and the cable ties, ive got about 15mm, and my rear preload on level 4 (havent set up the sag yet) but i noticed a difference that way and it tips better.

On a curvey yes but not on a pointy, Shorter to lower on a pointy, longer to raise a pointy.
