well mpg is relative here. yes it is called a sprocket, you have two one in front and one in back. if the front one has 15 teeth than he sitched out the rear. if he added mileage here h most likely went down teeth in the rear or went up a tooth in the front. like i said count the front teeth to verify which he switched. i always believed that you should always change both sprockets and chain at same time though
sprocket thing for more MPG?
Okay hopefully two things will come out of this, the proper termenology for one and two, an answer 
When I bought my SV it was my first bike ever. I'm slowly learning the mechanical side of things. One thing the seller said was he had put on a new sprocket (whatever the thing is the chain goes around) that would up the MPG.
My question is, first is that called a sprocket but second, does that mean he added or took away a tooth from the stock one? Oh finally, does that mean more or less torque, if he increased MPG?
