Title: New Track Toy Post by: mikeb on May 12, 2008, 04:32:36 AM Just picked up another SV for the track. Don't know what it is about these bikes but I truly love the little SV. Maybe because it's a twin (like the Monster) or a cult bike (also like the Monster). But this is the 3rd one I've owned. Bang for the buck they can't be beat.....

Title: Re: New Track Toy Post by: mikeb on May 15, 2008, 06:53:31 AM I was wonder what mods have you done to yours ? The forks have Rach Tech cartridge emulators, stiffer springs, and heavier oil in them. The rear end has a fully adjustable shock from a Yamaha in the rear. For braking it's got braided front lines with EBC pads. Other than that it's just got rearsets, a damper, and lower clipons. Basic SV mods most people do. The biggest issue with the SV is the suspension. Soft damper rod forks with a soft non-adjustable rear shock. You can sort the whole suspension for less than $500. On my last bike I got the Traxxion damper rod kit for $250 which includes new rods and emulators. New springs and oil were $120. And I got a brand new GSXR 1000 rear shock off Ebay for $70. So for about $450 I got the suspension sorted out. It's really a cheap bike to work on. Title: Re: New Track Toy Post by: mikeb on May 15, 2008, 06:56:51 AM Looks like fun... Love the color [thumbsup] You know it's not a color I'd pick for myself. But it's growing on me. |
