I got scared when I saw a £130 tool. But I guess there are cheaper ones. |

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit
buy cheep buy twice.
if you want your chain and sprockets to last then fit a scottoiler. my last set lasted 36,000 miles. only changed them coz the chain rusted to fek with bike being outside otherwise they would still be on the bike. |

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit
was talking about the tool, not the chain/sprocket, I wouldn't save on that.

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit
Bought that in the end: https://www.ebay.co.uk/
X-ring. I still can't figure out weather the master link is clip or rivet style. I have heard bad things about clip falling off, could I just buy one aside and use it for that? Last edited by UnoSD; 09-06-18 at 09:15 AM. |

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit
Some chain kits come with both links so you can DIY the job with the clip and ride it to a mechanic to rivit in the proper link. I dont have a chain riviter so thats what I would do.

annoyingly the closest garage always leaves too much chain slack (and then the bike start squeaking), tried to explain to them the slack on the manual but they don't seem to think it's right... should find another one... |

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit
Going back to your first few posts in this thread--------are you sure you know what you are doing? You wore out a chain in a very short mileage and you think the shop had left the chain too slack. You tightened it up yourself then it wore out. You mention it squeaking which is normally a symptom of being too tight. Too loose might result in banging as it hits the swingarm. Too tight will cause wear to the chain and maybe the gearbox but a bit too slack is unlikely to cause any problems unless it is slack enough to fall off. What you describe sounds like you have been running the chain too tight.

Re: SV650AL7 chain and sprockets kit
A tight chain will FUBAR many things, not only the chain.
