Default chain and spocket Q.

Just a quick 1 people,

The SV needs a new chain, so I'll be changing chain + both sprockets,

im planning on going +1 tooth to the rear sprocket, my Q. is will i be able to use the standard 110link chain? or do i need a 112link?

i.e with a new chain is there enough adjustment on the swingarm to get the wheel that little bit more forward to squeeze in that extra tooth?


thanks in advance

By adding one sprocket onto the rear of your SV650S will be reverting your bike to the same gearing as a SV650N.

(I can never remember) what affect does this have? Better acceleration or better top end?

Acceleration, but not much though.

well actually im going +2, from a 44 to a 46.
and from an 108 to an 110 link if it will fit?.

but all these numbers will confuse the Q. lol

so on the basis of sv650n gearing, 15 - 45 - 110
will i get away with 15 - 46 - 110????

or will i need a 112 link chain dave?

On a curvy you'd be fine with 110.
