John, when I weighed 241 my stock 2000 SV650 forks were pretty "scooshy." I wonder if there's a chance there was something wrong with them before the mishap? I went to the racetech site and used their calculator to put .95kg springs in my forks with 20wt oil. They worked well at 241 but they're too stiff at 181, so I need to do something soon. Mark.
