Just bought a 97 GSXR 750 Rear Shock - SV650.org

I just got a 97 GSXR 750 Shock for my 2000 SV650 . . . I need alittle info.

Some stupid ???'s i should know. . .

What is SRAD.
What is K2,K3 etc.?
What is a curvey?

Ok, i am losing weight, but i am approx. 300#s as of right now. also many times my girlfriend likes to tag along on rides and she is another 120#'s. I know i am overloading the shock as it is and need to know if the stock GSXR Shock is going to ride worse or better than the Stock SV shock. Or maybe i could take the spring from the sv shock and get it installed on the gixxer shock??

What are some ways to fix the front shocks of my bike?? Do i need new springs.

Thanks.

SRAD = Suzuki Ram Air Direct

K2 K3 etc. refers to the year (ie 2002, etc)

Curvey refers to the pre fuel injection models (more "curvy" than the later models)

You are gonna need to get a new spring for that shock. I would also recommend doing some race-tech front springs and heavier oil up front before installing that shock.
