Chain and sprockets
 

Hello all
need help I'm looking at getting new chain as I spotted little patch of rust and it's stretched I have 4 notches left in the rear swing arm.. my question is what type is best and I will also do new sprockets any tips please thanks all for your help

Re: Chain and sprockets
 

Should replace sprockets at same time definitely. When I do mine I'm going to go one tooth down on front sprocket for acceleration.

Ok cheers for the speedy reply mate so if I follow on and go a tooth down will this affect speedo and what chain you going for please

Re: Chain and sprockets
 

I dont believe it affects the speedo, as it's seperate from how the SV measures its speed. Think it measures rotations of the front wheel or something?

I've read Tsubaki chain and Renthal sprockets is a good combo. But I'm someone wiser will come along, I'm curious to hear some opinions myself!

Which model of SV do you have? My pointy measures speed with a spinning magnetic field on the wheel, so was not affected by a sprocket change.

When I changed my chain, I used a DID chain and sprocket set from a e-Bay, the whole lot cost about £150 at the time, but I did go for the best I could afford.

Top tip though, a chain oiler maintains your chain and allows for greater distances between changes. I use a Tutoro Auto which is a simple and and elegant design, but other types are available.

I've gone for a 520 - 15/46 sprockets with a renthal rr4 chain. Not to hard to fit but need a tool

Cost with tool in total was about £220
