This is about how to put a new chain and sprockets on a 99 SV650, all the carbed bike are the same, as far as this goes, 99~03' the 03's are almost exactly the same. you can use this as a genreal guide on how to swap cahin and sprockets on many different bikes, especially the part about how to get the chain off and on.
you'll need a basic socket set that includes 8, 10, 19mm socekts, a 14 and 2 12mm opened wrenches. you'll also need a breaker bar or an air impact gun to get the front sprocket nut loose. and of course the chain braeker and riviter tool. i really like the motion-pro 1 i use. i've done a lot of chains with it and rarely break the push pins. i know a lot of people out there complain about the pins or the tool, but i get it to work very well.

start by removing the 10mm bolt that hold the shift linkage to the shifter shaft

remove the 8mm bolts that hold the sprocket cover on

use a small screwdriver and bend the tab locking the clutch cable to the hanger and then remove it from its holder in the case

then remove the 2 10mm bolts that hold the clutch screw assembly in place

use a small screwdriver or drift ro bend back the sprocket lock washer and then loosen the sprocket nut. if you're using the breaker bar have somebody hold the bike up right while holding both brakes on. you should be able to loosen it. if not you can slip something through the rear wheel or just use an air-impact gun.

remove the cotter pin from the rear wheel and loosen the axle nut

remove the nut, washer and chain gude washer

loosen both chain adjusters all the way so that you have as much slack as you can for getting the wheel out

note which spacers go to which side. slide the chain off the sprocket and lift the wheel up and to the rear

remove the sprocket nuts and replace the sprocket. torque the nuts to 60 N/m

put the wheel back on, with the old chain put back in place

now pick a link to cut the chain @, i like to use 1 close to the leading edge of the rear wheel so i can brace the chain against the wheel when grinding the pin down

i like to use a drill with a grinding stone to grind the peening of the pin. this step is really important. you'll break the push pin if you try to force the peened pin through the chain links!!!!

once you've ground it flush you're ready to cut the chain

i'll 1st use the "riviting" pin to get the pin started on its journey out of the chain link. this is the thickest pin in the kit, it will not fit through the chain link so just use this to get it started
