Rear Sprocket Compatibility
« on: July 20, 2015, 07:29:39 PM »
Hey guys! I wanted to let you know that the rear sprocket is compatible with:-
  • Suzuki GS500
  • Suzuki SV650 (520 Conversion)

Just make sure that you get the 520 version of these sprockets. This opens up a wide variety of gearing options for experimentation ;) (from 38T to 49T).

I myself just installed a steel sprocket from Vortex Sprockets (Part# 528AS-44, 44 teeth) and it fits perfectly! It now pulls MUCH better in all gears :D Downside is you have to shift a little more often  :P

Top speed I got was 140km/h in 5th rear (Didn't want to go any faster lol) so it didn't really effect the top end that much  8)

You went with a larger sprocket? Every time I've ridden a Venox I always felt it needed taller gearing, that thing winds up fast on the freeway.

Yes I switched from 39T (stock) to 44T.  IMO, the stock gearing felt way too tall, especially when compared to other 250cc bikes like the ex250 and cbr250. The Venox makes peak hp at around 8.5K rpm and it took forever for the motor to wind up to that on stock gearing. This slow acceleration is really prominent in city traffic (going from 0 to 50 kph) and made it feel a bit sluggish. On the highway cruising at about 110 to 120 kph the rpms seemed fine to me with the new gearing (It might be that I'm used to revving the hell out of the little engine...haha ;) )

Sorry, but of a noob here. Are you saying that the SV650 with 520 conversion will bolt straight onto the venox and that it is a 44 tooth sprocket?

Going with a 44T sprocket, were you able to use the stock venox chain or did you have to go a size longer?

Would you have to switch to a 520 chain, and how many links? And, do you recommend the O-Ring type or no O-Ring?
