I need a new chain(any ideas)
Hi all
My Sv650s 2001 model i have just bought has a very loose chain the bike has 18,000+ miles on it so i am assuming that the chain and sprockets have never been changed. At the moment i am not riding the bike till next week if i pass my test but i have had a look at the play on the chain and there's more than 2 inches which even i know is a little bit too much. The back wheel is not rite back on the settings but i would still like to buy a new chain and sprockets due to my 1st impressions of the bike never seeing a new chain. Can anyone give me any pointers as to the best quality chain and sprocket sets to look for and the prices they should be. I know another thing to ask is what i am looking for ie. mileage, performance etc etc. I shall be using the bike day to day to and from work so mileage and long life is what i am looking for. I have checked with local garages and they can fit for around £30(Sterling). I look forward to replies and suggestions. Cheers Stu |

As a guide, I can get my local place in London to do a supply and fit of a chain and sprocket for an SV @ £130 (not sure if thats pre-VAT tho)
Only £60 for my CG125..... David |
