Re: fornt fork upgrade formy sv650
Good article that but it tells you sod all about doing the work on a curvy... and doesn't seem to think that older gsxrs exist... they've been around a sight longer than the SV yew know...

Re: fornt fork upgrade formy sv650
my next door neighbour has had bikes donkeys years and said to me what about putting fresh oill in the forks and fitting a progressice spring, would this be a good cheap improvement?

probably the best you can do without replacing forks is to replace springs, oil and install cartridge emulators. New oil and springs will improve marginally by themselves. All depends how much improvement you want and how much time/money you have available. Alternatively a new bike can sort out everything in one step. |
