JaSSon Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Are there any shops in the Central Ohio area that do suspension work? I just picked up a 2007 SV 650S that I intend to use for primarily track use. It's got 26k miles on it, and while I did get some maintenance paperwork, there is no indication of any work being done to the forks or shock. I am aware many people chuck a ZX10 or 14 shock on the back with heavier front springs and emulators, but I'd still need help getting it setup for me. I'm about 200 pounds. Any shop/individual recommendations? Parts recommendations? Newbie to the track, so I don't need amazeballs, just don't want to learn to ride on a track on a worn out suspension.

jhalls Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I've got no nothing as far as shop recommendations go. But I can tell you the rear shock is a pretty straight forward and easy swap, and if your just doing heavier oil and springs it can all be done with basic hand tools. I went with .90 sonic springs and 20 weight oil in the front and a GSX-R rear shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello dude Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I like to send my forks and shock to this guy, he does the work, and ships it back. Painless... http://daughertymotorsports.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlboro man Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) I had a 2000 SV 650 like 10 yrs ago Stuck some 1-1/4 plastic spacers In the front shock tubes to stiffen the front springs and some Yamaha thicker oil worked great Don’t remember what weight it was Edited September 10, 2021 by marlboro man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
