The geometry differences between the 959 and V2 are likely nothing anyone will notice on the street, but track riders probably will. The V2 is 2mm higher in the rear, and 2mm shorter in the front. You could achieve this by loosening your triples and raising the fork tubes/lowering the triples 2mm, but again, unless you track the bike you probably wont notice anything.Figured id take a shot and see because its pretty much the same bike but with the ssa different plastics and more electronics.
The brake line ran right to the abs in the factory 959 location same with the abs sensor wire. Even the same rear brake Caliper and pads. Same 43t sprocket and tire size.
Unfortunately i cant compare alot of the handling aspects since the dealer i got the bike from put shinkos on it. I changed the front to a parrelli to match the new rear tire. I can say tip in and grip are amazing now but that could just be the tire change.

I would recommend watching the Youtube video by OTT that goes over setting your sag and suspension for your rider weight. It can transform your bike and most riders never realize how poorly a bike can handle from factory until they properly set their sag. Since you changed that geometry slightly, it might be good to check it.
The swingarm i ordered was complete. So it still had the the brake line and abs wire on it. Due to the extra lenght needed i dont think the 959s line or wire will reach.Hello
Im considering the same modification for my 959
Were you able to use the existing brake line & ABS cable from your 959 or was everything from the V2
If not could you list the additional parts required to complete the conversion
Many thanks

Thanks for your assistanceI used the v2s just because it was still attached to the swing arm
So the v2 swing arm fits on the 959?Im not asking about it. I just wanted to let everyone know that the v2 swing arm is a complete plug and play bolt in. View attachment 29324
yes the v2 swing arm fits on the 959So the v2 swing arm fits on the 959?
