I kind of understand what you are getting at, but sorry my standard shocked SV doesn't bugger about, weave and fool around. I think I'd kind of notice having various bikes hanging around the place to compare

Ride faster, you will notice.

even with the bump, its only an extra half stone, and having ridden slightly with bump added, I fit in with the criteria of this thread....I can still hang out with the 'less than lardy club'

Get places just as fast as you....you knows it!
Can't really push an SV much over 110 these days, bleddy traffic everywhere

It's not about top speed, like I say, opening throttle coming out of corners is where it is worst. Slower and bumpier the corner the worse it is.

And if you use longer SRAD shock it turns in a sight better too. And only £40 or so (plus £10 ish for me to check the gas pressure, of course

)

Slow in fast as plop off a stick coming out. Indeedy. Still never had the stuff you state on my bike. Until I do, its irrelevant. Maybe its because its set up pretty much correctly for me, and I can actually ride my bike properly.

Your riding style is hardly aggressive though, which is well suited to the stock shock, because it can wallow around as much as it wants and not upset anything.
Up the effort a bit and like I say, you will run into problems.*

*Problems being handling maladies which knock your confidence a bit. Half the time you don't know these exist until you get rid of them, then it's a revelation.

I don't ride agressively unless its necessary. TBH I'm not exactly going to change my spots just to prove a point to someone else.
Good job I am like that, or that Raptor will spit me off into a hedge, and sit there laughing at me in a heap at the side of the road
