Supersport mod question

[Eric Heddles]

On the SV650, the standard models didn't come with adjustable fork caps to help set spring preload. The rulebook says that the forks must be stock. Can I use ones off of a SV650S model since they were stock? Would aftermarket adjusters be OK? If you use 1mm over pistons for a rebuild, is it legal to run an aftermarket piston that has been milled down to provide a stock compresssion ratio? And finally, is the subframe considered the frame? I'd like to swap it out with the rear bodywork but wanted to be sure that was legal. Thanks.

I can answer a couple of the questions.

Fork caps can be modified or replaced to allow external pre-load adjustment.

Modified pistons Oh don't know that. Can you order the correct pistons from J&E? They do do special orders

Subframes are not restricted aftermarket or modified Stock are allowed

I hope this answers a couple of your questions just from someone that has been doing this for a while and seen a bunch of the legal (and illegal [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img] ) mods people have done here and across the country.

Thanks, Eric. After pricing a few things, the stock 0.5mm and 1mm over Suzuki pistons are about $70 a pop so they're much more affordable if the engine needs a rebuild.
