SV650S Suspension Overhaul...need help!


I have always wondered why it is so hard to convince people that the stock suspension is dangerous for riders that far outweigh the "unpublished" design spec of a 140 pound rider?

They don't have a problem understanding that if their head is medium size and they wear a XL helmet to ride is dangerous.

They don't have a problem understanding that if their feet are size 7 and they wear size 12 boots, they will have problems.

What is so hard to understand that a bike has to be adjusted to fit you?

I weigh 250 with all my gear on, and it took all of 10 minutes to realize that the SV stock suspension was woefully inadequate for my weight.

BTW ... cras4u, this post was not directed at you, rather, I commend you for recognizing that there is a significant improvement to be had for fitting your bike to your physical properties. Physics does not lie ... you just have to beware of the occasional pop quizzes!
