    Can anyone please help me with the amount of links I'll need for a 2010 cbr1000rr 520 conversion with - 1 tooth on the front sprocket. Much appreciated

    I've just fitted -1 +1 sprockets and used standard chain length of 116 links

    What he said.
    Going down 1 on the front won't make any difference to the chain length. It'll be what ever the current length is.

    Cheers, for the heads up, but I've fitted it now, bought longer just in case. Ended up just removing the extra 2 links seems better accelerating, front end seems to be pointing in the air all the time now ha ha ha ha. Now I'll need a speedo healer because I think it's reading high, don't want that mileage creeping up .
