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

just got my chain and sprocket kit for the triumph off them last week ,i orderd friday evening, was at my door by tuesday dinner time ...and cheap enough......

Loads of good eBay sellers too.

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
