I've done a couple and I thought it was easy - there's many many more difficult than an SV.

How many miles has the engine got on it? I know a few very high mile SV engines that still have the original chains in them.

Yeah not bad compared to other bikes.

Way more of a pain in the *rse than not having to change them though! Luckily it is rare to need to.
