sv2 shock setup

[jonathan may]

i have the kit 6 holes pistons in the rear with 400cst oil with the kit 2.5 spring but this feels to soft i bottoms out if the rear end in droped from a 5 to 6 inches

Hi
Ive been running 3hole drilled to 1.6mm with 350cst.
Toms running 5x1.3mm these need to be drilled as the standard 5 hole are 1.5mm

Gone to 4 hole, playing with 30 and 35wt on kit springs, feels lots better.

Try 3 hole pistons front and rear, open the piston hole out to 1.65mm for the rear, 35WT in the front and 27.5WT in the rear and kit springs.

A quick option is to run the top shock mount in the outboard hole on the rear.

I visited the Schumacher factory recently and spoke to Tom about this very thing. My conclusion after the chat was to move the shocks to the forward position and run the following.........

Rear = 4 holes - 350CST - 2.0 springs
Front = 4 holes - 350CST - 3.5 springs

This seems to work for me. To mount the rear shocks in the forward position you just need to use an SV shock tower instead of the SV2 one.

Ive just spoke to Schuy and asked if blank pistons can be added to the range.
