SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit

Hi everyone,

I managed somehow to wear chain/sprockets after 1 year and a half and 5k miles lubing it regularly. ( I guess it may have been because the rear wheel was unaligned, any other guess is welcome! )

I am struggling to find a new kit of chain/front and rear sprocket for the 2016-2017 model. Anyone can suggest a site/model to look for on eBay/Amazon?

Most sites don't find it by putting make/model/year but I presume it may be compatible with existing parts and they just haven't updated their dbs.

Thank you.

I dont know if it takes the same kit as older models but how did that happen? Did you buy it new and have you ever tampered with the rear wheel or chain adjustment? If it was correctly set up originally and kept lubed it should not have needed to be disturbed yet. If that is the case Id take it back to the dealer because the chain may have been set up too tight from new. Further damage to the gearbox output shaft bearing can then happen.

I am afraid it was me; I had a garage change the wheel and they left too much slack on the chain and it started squeaking. I adjusted it but I guess I did not aligned it properly and that screwed up chain and sprockets :(

The chain though... 27600-44H10-112 was on back order each place I looked (and only seems to be used by AL7) along with its joint set (27620-44H10).

Update: found the chain here: https://www.bike-parts-suz.com/suzuk.../2760044H10112 (they have the joint set too)

Might want to check with your local dealer - it might be in stock in Europe and be here in a couple of days.

Thank you!

I have also found a kit from AFAM (K4972) and it looks quite cheap £80-110 (depending on they type of chain) they are QX-rings. Any thoughts on those? https://afam.com/en/service-2/dc-kit-configurator/

AFAM have been around for a while, I've bought a sprocket from them in the past which worked out well. I should think you will be ok with a chain kit from them (not that you have too many options at the moment anyway).

I have also found D.I.D:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D-I-D-OE-...6/142300604984

Any thoughts on that? quite cheaper and hopefully better than the originals from Suzuki.

D.I.D is decent enough stuff.

The only minor issue I see is that the ebay advert lists the kit for a 2016 SV650S (they didn't make an "S" in 2016). The kit number is 3503546, if you search that kit number it also shows up for a SV650S K8-K10

https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Motorcycle-...25vx/648036128

If you check the Suzuki part number for a 2009 SV650S front sprocket it is 27510-20F00 but the Suzuki part number for a 2017 SV650 AL7 front sprocket is 27511-12C00. What's the difference? It will probably fit but I'd ask the vendor specifically before ordering and check if it's returnable if it doesn't fit.

Thanks, I'm extremely cautious as well, and I notice that, too.

I may go for the DC Chains/AFAM sprockets then. I can clearly see the model from their website and it looks specific for the 2016-2017. Any thoughts on those brands?

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit

All the major makes are OK as long as its the correct part and you keep it adjusted and lubed when in use. I use old engine oil for chain lube. Can be messy but my chains last 20000 miles plus. A Scotoiler will make them last 30000 plus.

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit

Thank you guys, I'll go for that one then.

They also seem to have two versions (both QX rings):
One is 3800 DAN (steel)
and the more expensive 3630 DAN (gold)

Apparently DAN is the unit of measure of tension strength (didn't know much about it)

which one would you buy?

I also need a tool to close the master, any suggestion?

Thanks for all the help.
