Yet another where to buy a chain thread.
 
I know everyone on here is prob sick of chain threads but does anyone know any websites that sell reasonably cheap chains for sv650 sk1's that deliver to northern Ireland quickly? I know this is alot to ask but iv got an mot within a week and my chain is wrecked lol

I use b and c express. There are some copy chains floating about so IMO it's worth buying from a known seller. Cheapo chains are false economy.

I'm sorry for the noob question but I can't for the life of me remember, wot is the standard link length and sprocket size for curvy sv650sk1s? If I geared it for a bit more acceleration what sizes should i go for and how wud that affect mpg on motorway commuting etc because I wouldn't mind getting a bit
more pull but I don't wana anhialate my mpg cuz I commute on it all the time!

Stock is 15/44 108 links 525 pitch chain.

I tried 15/48 and thought it was great fun. Motorway mpg was ok steady but did have a bit of a drinking habit when you were on and off the throttle a lot. then again I do have other mods on bike.

haha is it still 108-525 with a 48 rear or do u need different link sizing or anything? What else you done for performance? Is it a curvy ?

JHS cams, M4 pipe, BMC race RS filter, tank raiser, silicon leads, rejet.
Yes it is curvy.

I put a 112 link chain on but I would probably have got away with stock 110. Bear in mind the N swingarm is slightly longer.

Can you upgrade the reed valves (between carb and cylinder) to improve response on a curvy? Would that damage steady mpg or jus acceleration mpg? Off topic a bit I kno but suuure haha
