JHS Stage 3 Forks! - SV650.org

Any one got them, is just progressive springs with spacers and adjustable caps with heavier fork oil!

Not bad at 136 quid,

Front end needs sorting asap!

Thoughts please??

You definitely want the stiffer springs, and I think also the adjuster caps so you can get the preload right. As for the heavier oil... this is always a moot point, some people think it's the way forward, some people think it isn't worth it. The damping of the forks is, IMHO, fine on rebound but not enough on compression. The JHS stage 4 forks modify this, or you can try emulators (my thumbs up). The jury still seems to be out on the oil, but the stiffer springs and correctly-set preload really help. While you're on to JHS, get the longer dogbones for the rear cos (a) worth it for £15 and (b) with stiffer forks you might find the front is a little higher so these will counteract it.
