rgv250 (93 VJ22) - Suspension Upgrade options?

Why hello there!

It's great to be on a real bike again, after a diet of 4 strokes.

Has it got a steering dampner ?

Ive owned 3 of the things, bloody great little bikes. Im sure the imports have a different powervalve servo so they dont open as far as the unrestricted ones? Whip them out and give them a clean. If they break and drop into the cylinder.....you know the drill.

No steering damper, frame is tapped for one though. Gives a little wiggle when hard on the gas out of corners in first... be a shame to take that away though!

Definitely going to give them a clean... I'm awaiting a man to weld the mounts onto the muffler for my SV... until that's back in action (shortly), I ain't touching shit though. Too much warm weather wasted already!

Servo is the same, is the controller that's different, link to an unrestricted one above courtesy of F5

I'd be looking at the cdi as well. As I recall (possibly incorrectly) the differences are -exhaust,cdi,airbox,power valve,carbs --I seem to recall they jap bikes had thicker head gaskets too.
Id have a look at the sites over in auzzie because they still race them there

I actually wouldn't be that upset if the CDI/SAPC took a dive, then I'd have an excuse to derestrict it sooner than planned

Suspension first though. But finish SV before that. All in good time.
