Thank you all!
Thank you. It's great to be part of a welcoming community. Does anyone have any good suspension upgrade tips? I'm already considering a front caliper upgrade to a 4 piston Tokico. I am an aggressive rider (both street and track) and I'm kind of a fat kid (195#) for a 300, but I love playing on small bikes. Kind of curious if anyone has ever considered or done a SV650 front end swap. I've got one laying around my garage from a GSXR600 front end swap I did for a buddy a couple of years ago. All just kind of ideas at the moment, but I believe this will be a fun build.

I put the shock from a 300 into my 250 but that's the only thing I've done to the suspension.

I've herd of a stiffer rear shock swap for the 300 (from a GSXR if I'm not mistaken) but I haven't figured out what all is needed for it or exactly what GSXR it is. lol

Do search here for "GSXR shock swap" and you'll find lots of good threads with photos. Typically what's needed:
1. change/drill bushings on shock 2. widen dog-bone mounting width One of threads in search has spreadsheet of various GSXR models & years with shock-length, spring-rate and fitment (yes/no to chopping fender for clearance). General consensus is you end up with too stiff suspension using shock from bike that weighs 100-lbs more. Might be OK for track-bike. |

I finally got to dig around and see what I was in for on the rear shock swap. It seems to get a lot of mixed emotions. Seeing that I do not know the other folks riding styles and preferences but that I am 195# and I like to ride "fast and aggressive" according to those I do ride with and that I do intend to take the bike to the smaller tracks, I think I'll give it a go. I've got a 2006 GSXR600 rear shock laying around in my garage from a previous track bike build so I won't be out any money. It will also give me good time getting to know this bike a little better. lol I like to play with my bikes. If I end up doing the SV650 front end swap I'll try to do a thread on it and how the results turn out. I mean, it can't be any harder than putting a ZX-14 suspension (front and rear) under a 1999 Yamaha Roadstar (the AntiCruizer). ![]() ![]() |
