chain life with 17 tooth sprocket

	FWIW, my SV650S has a 15 tooth front sprocket and 45 tooth rear. It's
chain holds up fine, as did the one on my '99 SV650 with a 15/44. Of course,
that bike has only about 45 lb ft of torque, but the wheelie potential is still
amazing 'cause it only weighs 372 pouds dry! My point, though, is that the
chain life should be fine as long as you don't overtighten it.
