Pointy rear jack up? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Try putting some more preload on the rear when taking a pillion. My other half weighs 9st, works out to be 4turns on my preload collar. But that will vary with springs and pillion weight etc. Try both notches you have left. You might be surprised how much difference it makes to the front end. If as nutsinatin says, you find the front diving. It might be worth getting different rate springs in the forks, to give you the adjustment you need. Have you checked your sag?

Sags not much with just me. Will be getting better front end soon as money is better. Lol
Would rather get it nice with just me on it and leave it as is with oh on back. Only go like a saint with oh on back or else she moans I am to fast, to close to other cars or leaning over to far round bends so again to fast so only really pootling along lol.
