I've seen several posts about putting in Gixer 1000 shocks to replace the standard SV one.
I have a 2000 curvy model, SV650s and am finding the suspension too soft, I weigh around 15.5 stone and am a heavy build, most of it's muscle ![]() What year Gixer do I need to get a shock off of to replace mine and what springs would compliment the shock at the front? - does this work really make a major difference to the suspension?. I'm not interested in spending a fortune on conversions, aiming to just replace springs at front (already had heavy weight oil put in) and the rear shock, cheaply ![]() |

Not sure on curvey models, I think there is a Kawasaki shock that is a better fit for your model rather than a GSXR one.
Do a search, I'm sure you'll find the details. |

I have recently installed a ZX10r rear shock to my 2001 curvey, bought off e-bay and has made a big difference coupled with the stronger front springs and w15 oil.
Check this out. http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.ph...light=shocking |
