What sort of SV do you have (1st Gen or 2nd)?

What sort of riding do you do - street, track, commuting?

What is your weight?

What is your budget?

From the standpoint of cost, the GSXR & ZX range are good aftermarket replacements. New and Used cost far less than a Penske, Nitron, Elka, Ohlins etc. But these (P, N, E, O) can be built specifically for your weight and riding style hence the far more expensive cost.

To put this into perspective, I got a ZX6r shock for £45 second hand that did not need rebuilding (so went straight in) and is generally right for my weight. I personally would not go for PNEO unless I was using it on the track as the alternatives are readily available and cheaper for road riding.

Edit: I didn't realise what section your post was in. My apologies. JHS (Bristol) supply Elka and Ohlins as far as I'm aware.

Ok cheers for the answers,what spark plugs do you all use when racing a sv650?cheers
