2 Clicks Out: Suzuki SV650 Gen 2 Suspension Upgrade Stages

[@G58]

Some are commenting that the ads are intrusive. Ordinarily I’d agree with, but Dave just gifted us a masterclass in bike suspension tuning - for free to us. So, he needs to get paid, but unlike a lot of egos who are essentially just farting opinions into the net, Dave’s advice is genuinely valuable. Actually, I’d argue it’s priceless. So he deserves to get paid, and paid well. The ads are fine. Now I’m going to watch again. I’m a fast empirical learner, but a slow learner when being taught. Thank you for sharing Dave. Awesome advice.

This is doing the very basic setup to get the bike somewhere right to your weight. To do a complete set up you need to ride the bike and really know what needs to be done, or use some advanced matrix mesurment tools. The difference from a good suspension set up to a great one can be a second per lap. I had great set ups perhaps 2 or 3 times during my time of racing, and I wish I would have spent more time learning this art as it makes more of a difference when it comes to lap times then anything else. As Honda says, Power is nothing without controle!

Recently I've watched an old Keith Code video on sag, in which levers the back of the bike into the air via the kickstand. Which method is correct?

My question is this: how much better would a gsxr front end with an aftermarket cartridge be than the stock forks with an aftermarket cartridge (just saw that ohlins makes one) now that the stock forks have four pot calipers? In other words, could I get close to the performance of a fork swap by just installing a cartridge kit and some better pads and lines? I also plan on replacing the shock. Not interested in emulators. Most of my riding is on the street with occasional track days. Thanks!

I didnt checked sag when I changed it and I was lift rear suspension by 0.5 cm or more. One day in corner cca 100 kmh I had speed woble from front end to rear and crash. Later I put the suspension on the lowest setting. The previous owner put 180 55 rear tyre so rear end of bike is higher with this setup because front is 120 60 r17 stock. Should I change maybe front tyre to 120 70 r17 because to put front end higher and enable future speed woble and crashes, watched motorcycle like gsxr 600 and 1000 and they have rear 180 60 the front is 120 70 not 120 60, thanks.

Hey Dave. With the stage 3 rider who had his 2cts at 27F and 32R you said he should be running a minimum of 32 F&R for 2cts but when you gave him adjustments to make after tuning the suspension you said +3F and +1R. Which would only put the front at 30F. Is this because you don't want to make to dramatic a change on tyre pressure after making changes to suspension so the rider can getting better feedback from the suspension changes? Cheers.

[@catalystreactionsbw]

Great question. The tire is already hot, so we lost the opportunity with cold pressures as there is no linear relationship between cold and hot air. So, add the pressure and see how the tire responds. If it shows too hot, we add 3 more. Chasing incorrect pressures is tricky and needs to be methodical in the approach.
