Here's another pirated write up that I stole from the BAYAREARIDERSFORUM- thanks to ELSKIPADOR.

1-This is about how to put a new chain and sprockets on a 99 SV650, all the carbed bike
are the same, as far as this goes, 99~03' the 03's are almost exactly the same. you can
use this as a genreal guide on how to swap cahin and sprockets on many different bikes,
especially the part about how to get the chain off and on.
(dont know if its the same tools for Honda's) you'll need a basic socket set that includes 8, 10, 19mm socekts, a 14 and 2 12mm opened wrenches. you'll also need a breaker bar or an air impact gun to get the front sprocket
nut loose. and of course the chain braeker and riviter tool. i really like the
motion-pro 1 i use. i've done a lot of chains with it and rarely break the push pins.
i know a lot of people out there complain about the pins or the tool, but i get it to
work very well.

start by removing the 10mm bolt that hold the shift linkage to the shifter shaft

2-remove the 8mm bolts that hold the sprocket cover on
3-use a small screwdriver and bend the tab locking the clutch cable to the hanger and then

4-then remove the 2 10mm bolts that hold the clutch screw assembly in place
5-use a small screwdriver or drift ro bend back the sprocket lock washer and then loosen
the sprocket nut. if you're using the breaker bar have somebody hold the bike up right
while holding both brakes on. you should be able to loosen it. if not you can slip
something through the rear wheel or just use an air-impact gun.
6-remove the sprocket nut and lock washer

7-remove the cotter pin from the rear wheel and loosen the axle nut
8-loosen the axle nut
9-remove the nut, washer and chain gude washer
10-note which spacers go to which side. slide the chain off the sprocket and lift
the wheel up and to the rear
11-remove the sprocket nuts and replace the sprocket. torque the nuts to 60 N/m
12-put the wheel back on, with the old chain put back in place

12-put the wheel back on, with the old chain put back in place
13-now pick a link to cut the chain @, i like to use 1 close to the leading edge of the
rear wheel so i can brace the chain against the wheel when grinding the pin down
14-i like to use a drill with a grinding stone to grind the peening of the pin. this step
is really important. you'll break the push pin if you try to force the peened pin through
the chain links!!!!
15-once you've ground it flush you're ready to cut the chain

17-i'll 1st use the "riviting" pin to get the pin started on its journey out of the chain
link. this is the thickest pin in the kit, it will not fit through the chain link so just
use this to get it started
18-put the tool over the ground down pin and use the 14mm wrench to tighten it down
19-insert the riviter pin
20-thread in the pin pusher and give it several turns. you'll feel it move easily @ 1st then
suddenly tighten up. when this happenes back the pusher off and swap pins
21-put the largest of the smaller pins in the tool. you'll use this to push the pin
all the way through the chain link
22-cut chain link

23-use the master link to hook the new and old chain together and pull the old out
and thread the new through.......we had a little trouble with this since the sprocket
we got were the stock 525 size but the chain was of the 520 variety
24-so while he went to the store to get the right parts i swapped the front sprocket
and swapped out the rear shock for a penseke. guess what the next pictorials about??? i
dunno' maybe a shock swap
25-once we got the right chain things are back on track. loop the chain around the
sprockets and connect with the master link. make sure that if you're using an o-ring
chain to put the o-rings on the master link and use the white grease that comes with
the chain
26-place the front part of the master link on the pins and use
the tool to get each pin started in its new hole

27-now use the press attachment to fully press the outer plate on, be careful not to
over tighten it. you'll get a instant tight spot if you do.
28-now put the riviter pin back in and spread out the ends of the protruding pins.
it doesn't take a lot of force to spread them enough to keep the chain plate on.
29-torque the front sprocket nut to 65 N/m and bend the lock washer over 1 side of the nut
30-after that use the allens on the back of the swing arm to adjust the chain and
tighten the axle nut to 60 N/m and replace the cotter pin

Kinda in a rush right now...i'll edit the post so that the pics match the text.
also if any one who have the insight- see any thing that should be done diffrently, or could make the process easier it would be great.
Help me to help you.

 

That is a great post, and it is very useful...but 1st timers might get discouraged by all the steps, but that is the way it is done...
