I was just wondering if anyone knew the Chain and sprocket kit sizes?

I know many of the 650 Bandit and 1250 Bandit parts fit the GSX and i was hoping someone may knew if either of these had the same chain and sprockets.

It would be cheaper to buy.

Also i have a good tip. I recently was looking for new brighter bulbs for the headlights. The ones i saw on eBay were £11.99 and that was for 1 set.

The Hyabusa uses the same bulbs but two of each and they were £12.99. So i bought those and now have a spare set.

I am not sure of the part numeber for the chain and sprocket combinations. I just wantd to make sure that you were aware that you can do a lot of adjustment just by changing the counter shaft sprocket, and in doing so you don't need to change out the chain. You can go 2 up or down and not have to change the chain length. This is the sprocket I went with:

The counter shaft sprocket is a fairly easy change out as well.
If you already knew this, disregard, but I thought it might help.
There are a number of threads on here about the counter shaft sprocket.
Hope that helps.

Cheers. I'm not worried about any changes as i'm happy with the original set up.

i'm just trying to fiqure out whether the chain and sprockets are from the 1250 or the 650.

i'll look up the counter shaft sprocket threads though.

I've been playing with front and rear sprockets to get better mileage. Sprockets for these aren't always listed when trying to buy online but I have found that they are the same as the 99-08 SV650. Changing to a 17 tooth on the front is great alone, what a difference, mileage went to 53 and still plenty of bottom end, no chain mod needed. I now have 18 on the front and 44 on the back, again no chain mod needed. Gearing is slightly high but still great for my 50mi. commute to work. Mileage went up to 59, speedo is off by about 9 mph. JT Sprockets online catalog has very good info on sprockets and makes a great reference tool. These bikes are very smooth on the highway with the higher gearing.

I went with a 16 tooth front sprocket and, according to GPS, the speedometer is now accurate.

Talon111: Make sure that you calculate mileage using actual distance, not indicated. The speedometer error that you mention will also be reflected in a proportional odometer error. Mileage should go up, but not by the magnitude that you indicate.
