I need to do some basic maintenance that I haven't done before, and I have some questions.
1. What is the deal with converting to a 520 chain for an SV? Is this a "must do" for a race bike? Do I need anything other than new sprockets to make this happen? I already need a new chain and rear sprocket, so this is probably the time to do it.
2. I also need new brake pads. I figure I should probably get something a bit fancier than stock since it is now a pure race bike. Any suggestions? I know nothing about race brake pads, going to start googling/looking on SVrider. I currently feel like I need to use a lot of force when braking (3, maybe even 4 fingers), I would like to be able to use 2 fingers.
Thanks in advance.
