Uhuh.... SV650 70 hp and 47 tq... not thinking any chain is getting snapped here.... Especially by some girl riding back and forth to work. As far as the front sprocket goes, I found a Sunstar/JT (which is stock btw) for $16 and a rear for $40 something....so if they want to replace the front, go for it but they make something called a caliper that will tell you if your sprocket is withing spec or not, I don't think that anyone said to "eye ball it". Quite frankly, that's the same sprocket that they put on the GSXR600/750 some years and I know from experience that the fronts are almost never wore out of spec. It's not the price of the part but the hassle of getting it off and back on... Heck, Cutty has nothing better to do right now so have at it. Different chain.... $100 EK http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...#ht_500wt_1182 $80 RK chain AND a Motion Pro alignment tool! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RK-GB...#ht_500wt_1182 Another EK for $80... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EK-Qu...#ht_1599wt_931 Anybody can go on EBay and find a chain for under $100, I thought that he wanted something CHEAP for this bike. I could have swore he said he didn't need "racer boy" spec parts...so why blather on about $200 sprockets and $200+ chains? Anyway, there you go, you can buy the STOCK sprockets from D2Moto for about $60 shipped and get a chain and alignment tool for $90 shipped....$150 for a "quality" read name brand chain and the stock steel sprockets with a bonus alignment tool thrown in. Ta Daa!!! |
