New Chain, Sprockets and Scottoiler?

My chain has all but got to the end of it's life so during the coming weeksI am going to have to replace it.

The sprockets are fine, but I think it would be wise to replace them too, is that right?

I have no idea what I need for my SV650(s) K3, but want something decent that will put up with all weather riding.

Also, while I am at it (money dependant) I am thinking of putting a Scottoiler on, although again I am not sure what to get and if it is worth it.

Any suggestions/advice would be most welcome. Oh yeah and where's the best place to buy any of these items from.

I would recommend you to contact Spanner Man, he'll sort you out.
In theory, you don't need to replace the sprockets every time you put a new chain on, but old ones will wear the new chain quicker.
I've put on a Scottoiler, I was annoyed with in in the beginning, but once you get used to using it (to set it correctly) you'll be happy

yes change the sprockets aswell unless thers very,very low miles on them already.

Where is spannerman based?

I just had a new chain and rear sprocket fitted at the weekend, but had a bigger rear sprocket put on to try it - Wow!!

What a difference it's made, Ok you lose about 10mph off the top end but the difference in accelleration is very noticable. I also felt the bike was more poised (being easier to get into higher revs) for cornering etc.

I've yet to discover the/any downsides to this but so far I love it!

Is that an insurance notifyable mod though?

I have recently put a new chain and sprocket set on my curvy and a scotoiler, the scotoiler was a bit fiddly to place/set up but now i am very happy, not having to clean and grease the chain still check the tension periodically tho. http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php...5&postcount=35 take a look at the thread
