The Carbed and Injected SV650's have different length dogbones and presumably different linkage arms. I was wondering if you could take an Ohlins shock out of a Carbed SV and put it into a Injected model and it would perform OK or is the difference really great.

Worked Ok on mine Gary, but the end eye might need threading to the full amount to gain back the small amount of ride height that the standard length carbd shock will add to the injected bike. Robert T will also be able to offer parts to shorten the body of the shock if required - however the difference is only 6mm or so. Dogbones can be changed - but you would need to trial these on the track to be sure. You do suffer from Ducks disease though aye - so you might want to be going in the other direction with the seat height......................Is there a new bike in the wings yet Gary ?

No new bike. After extensive comparision of the frames (5min) of the SVs I reacon the old frame is the better of the two but unfortunately has bracing that won't allow the fitting of the injected engine to it.

Stop wasting your time Garry and come over to the other side where you don't have to worry about all that garbage just get a Hyosung and race, it's guarenteed podiums out of the box

even still they cant really keep up with the sv650 even if the 400s are done up to 70hp+ which is alot of work
Hardcore Biker

i hope your carbon fibre fairings aren't for the race bike, when in doubt read the rules first...........carbons out, only fibreglass......

Oh really? So how did Andy Bowell win the NZ F3 champs last season on a zxr400???
Hardcore Biker

The pair of you do realise the bikes have riders on them aye?
Some talent is required to win on anything.
