I got it looked at by the guys at JHS Racing, the SV tuners!

M4 full system, Cams, BMC Filter, Dynojet, G-Pack, and a few home made goodies. Possibly a bored out engine next year.

If your spining up / sliding any tyre then you are'nt riding to the road conditions IMHO. Rubbish tyres or not.

I think your confusing Grip with Feel, the one thing I would say about the D220 is that you can't always feel what the tyre is doing, I suspect the grip is there but you cant use it as you cant feel what the limit of the tyre is. Whereas something like the Z6 you can use the grip because the tyre is more responsive and offers more feedback.

I feel the same about Bridgestones I could never tell what my GSXR was doing with the 014's on it if it was wet / cold, they are incredibly vague. No I wouldnt put D220's on my GSXR, but then I wouldnt put 021's on it either...

well in my wreck if the tires had of been better or i had of been better it it wouldn't have happened. so the easiest thing to do is replace the tires and work on riding skills which are much better then they use to be

like most people seem to say,if your going to spend that much tuning the sv maybe its just better to save your cash and spend it on a bigger bike.

IMO if you're on a budget Conti Road attacks can't be beat for all round perfomance.

got Pirelli diablos on my K4 right now but the road attacks on my old SV felt just as good.

i think sometimes it comes down to how much you like your machines, id spend that much because id like my machine to be the best it can be.. dont ever plan on selling it so.. when i get my next bike gixer 750 for example.. id do the same with that. its just how i am lol,

fair point.....i,ll get my coat.

Because I love my curvy SV650's, V-Twin power, light weight, cheap insurance, reliability, adaptability, etc,etc........
