Rearset recommendations? - SV650.org

02-05-09, 01:25 PM

Following on from the other rearset thread, I had a search and could find much about them. also google didnt help too much as I dont know any actual makes

what are good budget and medium price rearsets?

I remember Stu talking about some that got rid of him hitting false neutrals.

I would be after a set for more adjustment of the gear changer lever. The setting I have it on at the moment, is too high, if I knock it down one notch it is too low.

Im not sure on the clearnace issues people have been talking about, Ive only ever grounded the pegs once on a cambered corner. So clearnace isnt an issue, and thats not because Im not trying, I dont have any chicken strips!

thanks

Yep, I race with them. Very nice rearsets but they are expensive and do not survive crashes at all well. You can buy spares or even one replacement side.

GBMoto are cheaper, more robust, look just as good but are slightly heavier.

Right, I'm going to ask a really stupid question here...

What's the deal with rearsets compared to the standard setup? What's the difference?

WAY better levers, they got roller bearings in. And solid pegs so you can feel what the bike is doing better.

Also more ground clearance, I find them comfier.

another less raised point is that the pegs are usually rigid, that is they dont fold like normal OEM pegs. This is partly to protect the bike if it slides on its side, a bit like a crash bung, but also it can prevent your leg being trapped under the bike if you are unlucky to still be on it (or next to it

) at this point.

I'm very happy with my GB Moto's. There might be better, but I don't think there is better value for money. I haven't crashed with them so can't say how well they hold up for sure, but they seem very sturdy.
