new chain and sprockets
 

hello,

this is due for replacment soon, and i was going to change the ratio to give a little more acceleration, i will be adding either an extra one or two teeth to the rear sproket. any recomendations?

how many teeth are on the F and R sproket as standard? (S model)

any recomended suppliers?

cheers

15 front 44 rear on a curvey S

thanks so thats a drive ratio of 2.93

if i add one tooth - 3 (2.38% increase in thrust/acceleration)

if i add two teeth - 3.06 (4.43% increase in thrust/acceleration)

two looks more appealing!! anyone have any experiences to report?

A few people have gone up on the rear and enjoyed the additional acceleration. Make sure you compensate for this if you're ordering a chain and sprocket kit, as IIRC the SV650S runs a 525 108 link chain, where as the naked runs a 110 link as it is 1 tooth bigger rear sprocket(45T), though apparently the swingarm is 10mm longer which may have more to do with it.....

Clear as mud then :lol:

thanks, will bear in mind

now im just getting carried away... i wonder how far you can go

extra 3 teeth ratio - 3.13 (6.93% increase)
extra 4 teeth ratio - 3.2 (9.21% increase)

i am not one for going anywhere near top end, and you have to change gears alot anyway as it is, so i could go crazy with out any big down falls

Im running 14 front, 47 rear (-1, +3) at the moment and I bloody love it but im always under fire for my mods so pay no attention to me! If you do decide to go as far as I have Talon make sprockets that size to order, although I bought mine indirectly via JHS.
I posted pics on my blog about my setup it if you care to have a butchers its

its about half way down, I dont think they do a silver set but im not 100% so check if your intrested.

Hope that helps,

Crikey!

lol here we go X)

What can I say? Im a massive fan of the traffic light grand prix! When I placed the order at JHS all the woman could ask is "what exactly are you trying to acheive!?" :P

little rich,

does the standard chain guard still fit over the chain? i might go for -2F & +2R setup then i could use a standard sized chain. +9% does sound like fun!

i run
 

standard front sprocket and 2 extra on the rear,which makes the bike pull better in the mid range
