Well, thanks for all the information guys. I had owned an SV650 about 2 years ago and from my "memory" of the brakes I thought that they sucked.....I was wrong.
I just bought a used 99' SV650 off of ebay for $2125!!!!! It's in awesome condition and I just drove down to North Carolina to pick it up. Well I got it home and took it for a ride. The brakes are fine as is. It's the suspension that sucks ass...and when the front dives like it does on an SV that will make a "novice" rider think the brakes suck. Why? Because the bike will stand straight up in turns on the brakes etc...... 2 years ago I was very much a novice sportbike rider and I was notorious for going deep into corners ON the brakes and thus the bike felt really really bad, and it didn't want to stop for obvious reasons....ie. my butthole puckering up because the front felt like it was going to give out at any second (which it probably was on the verge of...) and thus my right fingers loosening up on the brake lever, thus causing the bike to stop slowing, thus causing my "mind" to go "Hey these brakes suck ass!!!!"
So pardon the explanation but that's what I used to think about SV brakes.
Thanks again,
Gixxilla
