You will probably find what you're after just entirely from upgrading shock absorbers. There are stock height options from Koni and Bilstein at least (and plenty of others, I haven't dug too far into it). It will improve the ride as a lot of the poor ride quality standard is in the shock absorbers and how they're set up, not the spring rate being too soft.
I recommend H&R Sport Springs 20 mm lift, and Koni Heavy Track adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers (no gas).
This combination reduces body roll and sway enormously. It feels tight and sporty around the urban jungle, although sometimes I feel the springs are too stiff when there is no load in the back.
Off the pavement, this combination provides a brilliant ride. It soaks up corrugations, ruts, potholes and rough surfaces really well. I'd describe the ride as plush but firm, extremely comfortable even while taking a lot of punishment. And I never feel any loss of control even when pushing it hard on the worst dirt surfaces. The spring rates and the shocks on a light adjustment (1/2 turn or 20%) are ideal for gravel track bashing.
If you don't need a suspension lift then avoid it, or minimise it, which is what I did.
I have stuck with manufacturers till manufacturers recommendation is causing issue, like my gixxer leaked entire oil from companies estar engine oil, switched to castrol power 1, no leak, headache gone and happy riding on it for about a decade now.
The first thing I did was change the ORM tires to Yokohama Geolandar go15 in 215/75 r15. I am very pleased with the new tires so far.
I run S21s on track on an SV650 and they are excellent!!! The S22s are better but both are perfect sport/street/track tires
I've done the 3k carb swap and it runs beautifully now. Starts easy, idles great and is way nicer to drive.
The Toyo at3 on the other hand has been great, a lot lighter which makes driving a lot more fun and less fuel consumption, basically no road noise and a lot cheaper then the ko2's
Imam maltene isti auto, sx4, i u njega sam pre 5 god stavio neki "banner" po preporuci majstora, ali evo ga radi i dalje.
I don't notice a difference between my T drives and OEM 2022 GSXR 1000 brembo rotors honestly. Can definitely tell the difference with fresh fluid, new pads, and a new master though.
Even brake pads are not always available at their service centre
