Need a new chain and sprocket... Which?

Right its come the time where i need a new chain and sprocket. I am after a good quality one that will last me a while and i can get maximum use out of it. Also i would like to increase the acceleration by getting a smaller front sprocket or whatever you have to do to increase acceleration. I have seen a Tsubaki chain and sprocket set: http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products?...dplS6cg&search=

Is this any good. Also could anyone else reccomend and give me links to an alternative and if anyones got any experiance with this ^^ chain and sprocket if its any good??

Thanks

Tsubaki chain and Renthal sprockets are good. I have used that combination before. May also want to compare prices from B&C Express.

I know renthal stuff is good my dad used some of their stuff on his old bandit.... Have B n C Express got a website?

Renthal sprockets are aluminium though, they need a bit more TLC and won't last like steel can usually- if you baby them they do last very well, far better than most ally sprockets, but a stif chain will tear them apart in no time.

Really steel makes more sense, they're cheap and very tough, and the weight difference isn't much- you won't notice it. I use Renthal sprockets essentially because I'm a moron and because I'm on an ill-conceived weight-loss crusade but if I wasn't I'd use the OEM set. Though on that thought, OEM is an endless link which means removing the swingarm. Most people don't want to do that, I always think it's a good idea since otherwise nobody ever lubricates their swingarm linkages

I think i'll go for the kit that ive put a link to... I've got a scottoiler fitted so hopefully it'll last a long time.

I'm a little lost. The SV650 uses a 525 chain as standard, changing the number of teeth on the sprockets will alter the final gearng on the bike making it feel different though.
