SV650 race mods

why would that be shaun ?

[Tim 39]

I'm of the opinion (probably a load of poo but oh well) that the SV's are a more well developed and thought out bike, I dont know much about the Hyosungs but I remember Geoff Cain's comments about his one time, something along the lines of I dislike this motorbike sometimes... in a slightly less polite manner

anyone know what upside down forks will fit on the a SV650s K6 without too much modification needed. Does the ones of the older gsxr600's fit ?

[Keystone19]

I have a 04/05 GSXR600 front end on my 03 SV650. I can tell you that the front end of the SV has not changed since 03, however the gsxr front end may have. Shaun will know.

Just spoke to robert tailor and he said that he can do the internals for $800 bucks..wonder if that would be worth doing, or would the gixxer front end be better..i suppose you have better brakes with the gixxer font end on hey?
does the 04 gixxer front end fit on without major issues?

You need to visit a SV forum mate. They're will be heaps of people there that know what they are doing and don't mind if your bike is faster than their F3 bike

Why not use a Cagiva Raptor instead of buying a SV650 and modifying it to hell?

You will have better Brakes and Better suspension with the GSXR front end BUT you won't be eligible for Pro-Twins, should the class eventuate. Also the stock forks modified can do the trick good enough, Jason Nairn finished very well at Puke on the stock fork externals.

Honestly Andreas, you would be better off holding off on the mods other than things like tyres, warmers, filter and shock (Robert is the shock man, this part will be eligible in a pro-twins class and makes a HUGE diffrence) until 1) you have some more time on the bike, on track, and get a feel for it as it is now, and 2) until you decide Pro-Twins or F3 for sure.

what tyres do you think..can i just use racetecs. Yeah..spoke to robert and he said he can give me a rear adjustable shock for $1400 that apparently works well on the bike. also getting an ohlins steering damper of him for my r1 so will try to fit the one off the R1 on the SV...yeah, and think i'll just go for the internals.

There is pretty good variation on tyres now. Metz/Prelli, and now Conti have a RaceAttack 160 rear designed specifically for the SV class they are running in germany. To match the 120/70 front.

They are all good just put anything on. Or go to the racetrack and see what others use. A good rider can go fast on any of the currently available racetyres with possibly the exception being Shinkos.

what available racetyres though...i just want to get something today, and cant seem to find anything...no racetecs, not raceattacks..only the normal road tires like sporteck or sport attacks.
