Sprocket Sizes
I'm currently running the standard front and rear sprockets on my 04 K3 SV650S. I'm looking for that little bit extra acceleration and I was wondering if anyone knew the standard size sprockets and any recommendations on sizes for my new ones and where to get them? Many thanks, Bob. :P

Should be a 15f 44r on an S. To get a noticeable difference you will either need to drop a tooth on the front, or go up 3 on the rear.
The advantage of doing the front is that you will probably get away with the same chain. I have 14f 44r on my 01SVS and it gives the bike that bit more pep on acceleration and pulling away is made that little bit easier |

cheers for the advice mate. Went to B&C and they sorted everything out. Went down one tooth on the front and stayed standard at the rear but its now a renthal f+r sprox and tsubaki chain. Thanks ATB

Some advice.
If you do mainly town riding then yes go ahead its a right laugh with different sprockets. However if you do any length of A road/motorway, then id seriously re-think. I dropped to a 14t on the front. For the main, it was brilliant. However out on the motorway it brought the revs up aroun 800rpm, and at 1000 thats about 7800-8000 rpm which is annoying and buzzy, and drink slightly more of the golden nectar than it used to. Aslo dropping to a 14t might accelerate chain wear. I brought my sprocket from Taylon online |

Yeah took most of that into consideration but im thinking of buying a hack/tourer for any motoway or long distance stuff like a zzr600. I dont find the sv particularly comfy for any grat distances anyway now ive put the rearsets and jack up kit on. ATB Mate
