Drop a set of emulators or intimators in on a budget. I have only used the former on a KLR and before that an XT and they work although they won't deliver the performance of a full cartridge fork.

had the same thing on a Bandit, it needed Hagon springs and thicker oil to cure it (to a degree). I was surprised and disappointed to discover that the SV has the same weakness and intended to try thicker fork oil in it in the first instance to see if that helped at all.

cheap and effective; people use progressive or linear springs in the front and a second hand gsxr or kwak shock for the rear. lots of info about projects on here.
