Default Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit

Something I've not seen mentioned very often if at all is that some Rear sprockets are flat and symmetrical but the one I fitted and the one that came off mine are not.They have to be fitted with the Maker's,"Ident" parts number etc facing outwards otherwise the chain presents the wrong angle to the front sprocket.

Also I never trust the adjuster markers,at least on older machines,so always check and set mine using a metal tape and the distances between the Swinging arm bolt centre and the centre of the Rear wheel axle.

I've only got about 6,000 miles on this set but only adjusted it once and then probably less than a 0.2mm.I use a combination of 80w90 Hypoid gear oil and Mso2 as a lube.I'm not a,"Throttle and Brake" rider preferring to ride smooth but fast and keep my gear changes as smooth as I can both throttling up and down and match engine speeds when coming down so as not to chunk the chain and gearbox etc.
