  1. SV650 Gen3 (17-...) Tech
    I am looking online for suggested values for spring rates, I am 95kg (209 lbs) without gear and the sag front & rear on my SV is excessive. I mostly street ride with occasional track days. I can find .9 kg/mm suggested for the front springs on the forums and the racetech calculator, but haven't...

    Hello riders, So, I have a stock '09 sv650 and I wanna adjust the rear shock to my weight, but I don't have the tool. There's some pretty cheap ones on aliexpress here, but I don't know which size is correct. Also, what suspension sag settings are correct for my weight with gear 75 kg (165...

    Just replaced standard shock, no nut, with Kawasaki 636 shock, which has a nut. Should I follow the Kawasaki recommended torque value or the SV one? And does anyone know what the Kwack value is?

    Hey, new member here; Probably a dumb*** question but I was looking at suspension upgrades for my 3rd gen SV, Ohlins seemed to be the only current option. That would still end up over a grand so I figured might as well just get a true supersport front end like a gsxr, seen it everywhere on gen...

    I have a set of new, never used, Racetech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators in the original box with all springs and valve shims. I can include the Racetech setup sheet for my weight and riding style (185 lbs, intermediate) from their official website. Unfortunately that setup calculator can only...

    Hello everybody! Two days I hit a car that run a red light. I am fine but my 2002 SV 650 has a bent front fork that needs replacing. How long does it take to dismount the old fork and mount the new one? Thanks!

    Low milage 2008 gsxr 1000 shock. Has 6200miles. Has 10.1kg/mm spring, 63mm stroke, 320mm length eye to eye, and is adjustable for compression and rebound. Should fit Gen 1 and Gen 2 bikes with battery box mod or so I’m told never did it my self. This was bought for a Gen 3 but it does not fit...

  8. SV650 Gen3 (17-...) Tech
    I'm the owner of a 2019 SV650 ABS, that I bought (for probably too much money) late last year. I've been lurking here for a month or two trying to research suspension upgrades in particular. I'm a heavier rider (probably 230ish with my gear) and the stock suspension is undersprung and...
  9. SV650 Gen3 (17-...) Tech
    Took a tumble recently and the front forks took a hit. I was hoping to get an idea where to start or where to get replacement parts. It'll most likely need a full front suspension replacement. Thanks in advanced!

    Hey, My 2006 SV650s is getting some new suspension and I would love to know which shop here in Vancouver / Fraser Valley. I'm located in Kitsilano. I've heard of RMR out in Abby but some of the online comments are scary and border negleance if true. I'm looking to get the Front Internal...

    My 2008 SV650 included an uninstalled, new set of Ricor Intiminators. I had never heard of these. Looking at this forum, it appears they were much more commonly installed in the SV before 2010. After doing some googling, I see new installations mostly discussed in dirt/adv bike forums. They...

    Howdy! I'm having some trouble figuring out how to setup my suspension. I know the stock sv doesn't have that much adjustability, but I figured I'd get it set the best I can after buying it from someone who is drastically different height/weight. As a 6'1" 205lb rider, how should I be setting up...

    Hi guys, So a little while ago I bought a cheap '99 SV650 with the idea to make it a track bike. It has some 'upgrades' like GSXR brakes, a Hyperpro rear spring and (possibly) some hyperpro linear springs in the front. Now, my streetbike is a 2009 Fireblade, so for that reason I'm probably...
  14. SV Modifications and General Maintenance
    It's been 3 weeks since I replaced the stock fork internals on my '07 650N with Andreani Misano cartridges. There aren't many reviews of the kit out there (both here and on other forums/YouTube), and I want to weigh in with my thoughts to help out anyone who's considering the mod. I like to...
  15. SV650 Gen2 (03-15) Tech
    Hello all, I took the forks off my Gladius (same as the 2g SVs), and all was well up to the point of trying to pump out the old fork fluid. On one fork, I can pull the rod (component #14 in the diagram) in and out fairly easily (with a small amount of resistance towards the bottom of the...

    To anyone who has the Andreani Misano Cartridges - what exactly did you need to machine to "remove the reduction bush"? The machine shop I'm talking with needs exact specifications before they'll do any work for me. Per the instructions below, some machining is required: Are they talking...

    Hi All, TLDR: Looking for Suspension and Brakes upgrades recommendations. I have a 2019 SV650 X and I'm wanting to do some upgrades that will actually improve the quality of riding the bike. Everything I've read/heard is that SV's need improved front and rear suspension and better brakes. You...
  18. SV650 Gen2 (03-15) Tech
    Hello, I'm lost on what to look for or what I need to upgrade my suspension. I am just looking for comfortable riding with the suspension and no race modifications. I have seen everyone say "just put GSXR forks on" but I feel as it's way to much work and money then what I'm seeking. (Although...
  19. SV Modifications and General Maintenance
    I'm assuming that Ohlins would market the kit for more years but I have to ask on hope alone....Did they actually change the ancient damping rods for the gen 3's or is there any chance these would fit or maybe some light modification to get them to?
