If you're on standard sprockets then you need a 520 chain with 110 links.
There's a continuous one on Ebay right now!!!
If you don't want to take the entire bike apart just to get the chain on, try http://www.bargain-biker.co.uk - they do the cheapest chain/sprocket sets around and they're as good quality as anything else!!!
Oh, and you'll be wanting at least and O-Ring chain - if you want the dogs danglies of chains pay a little bit more and buy an X-ring chain they're supposed to be well-worth it!!!

have scrubbed up the 2nd hand one and me mates gonna have a look at it, apparently it's only done 2k on the bike it came off so should be good for a year or two
always used DID chains, gold one at that, on the rvf, lasted forever with very little adjustment/cleaning/lubing......... u know what us wimmen are like
Thanx for the advice, must say somewhere the standard size, could count them on the set I've got but I dont know if that's standard

ok thanx for that, gonna try some sprint racing, will have my first attempt with the set up I've got then if I need to change the gearing I can go from there. Least if I know whats standard I can get the right chain length although will probably be ordering longer chain so I have spare links to swop in or out as I mess about with the gearing
oooooooooooh this is gonna be such fun

ok thanx will keep that in mind, before I start buying stuff will just avago first then take it from there. Big plans for next April when I do flyers @ RAF Woodbridge, completely different gearing required, wanna run a true, timed 140mph minimum! Dunno how fast an unmodified zxr4 engine can go
