Ok,
I've looked around the internet, but haven't found a definitive answer.
My SV has a 43T rear sprocket that was put on by the previous owner. He was doing the F3 rear wheel conversion and wrongly assumed that the stock F3 rear sprocket size was correct for the SV. The chain/sprocket are only about 2 years/5000 miles old and in great shape, so I'm not wanting to replace everything. I would however like to get the gearing correct. Currently, the chain length is such that I am near the back of the adjustment range (2nd from last tick mark) when adjusted properly. That gives me about an inch of forward adjustment that I can use.
I'm almost sure I could fit a 44T in there and still have adjustment range, but I'm not sure if a 45T would fit.
Anybody have any experience doing a change like that?
