Help with chain and sprockets

[Peewee114]

Hi all and thanks for letting me join the forum.
So the issue is I bought a sv650s 2008 K8 which whoever had this before had put an sv1000s rear wheel on it. The chain and sprockets badly needed changing so I went for the chain and sprockets for a 650. Upon putting the chain and sprockets on, the front sprocket was ok but the rear one had no chance of fitting. The bolt holes didn't Line up and the inside diameter of the sprocket was to small. I had to leave the rear sprocket on for the time being as need the bike for work. The problem I'm having now is trying to find a 525 rear 45t sprocket for the rear wheel. The new chain is 525. All I can find is 530 rear sprocket as the 1000 is 530 pitch. Anyone have any suggestions please to what I could do. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome.

I had a quick browse of the JT sprockets catalogue. Here's the SV1000:
http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/model/s2253/ if you scroll down it shows a rear sprocket diagram with dimensions

Here's a DL650 V-Strom XT:

It uses a 525 chain and the sprocket looks to have the same dimensions as the SV1000. I've not done it so may be a gamble basing it on the pictures especially since the photos of the sprocket look different even though the drawings look the same. If you decide to risk it, these people sell it:

You could email the above company and ask them if the JTR1800 and JTR1792 have the same hole pattern/dimensions.
