Chain and sprockets - SV650.org

I need a chain and sprocket set. anyone recommend my a cheap place to get one from i need it for a naked curvy, and to accelerate faster, im not worried about top speed as i get unrestricted when i have the money to go back on the road. so recommendations please. Is there a low maintenance chain or do i need a scotoiler because im lazy?

Thanks for any help.

There is no such thing as a low maintenance chain. Well apart from on a CD200[1] or similar.

The X or O ring chains are less maintenance than a non-O-ring chain but IMO not that much.

Scotoiler is the way to go for lack of grief.

bitzforbikes.co.uk are doing c&s kits for 10% off at the moment, and its next day delivery. M&P might be cheaper but you'll wait forever.

you want a larger rear sprocket for better acceleration, im sure either of the above websites will sort you out with whatever size you want. i think its usual to go up by 2 or 3 teeth but better ask someone who's actually done it. if you go much bigger on the sprocket you'll want a longer chain.
