Chain size help, anyone with a F4i come in please

Just ordered my chain/sprocket combo from www.onoffroad.com and I forgot to specify how many links (when I asked for a 15/58 sprocket setup I figured they'd know I need a 130). Anyways, the 120 link is on it's way to my house how many more links am I going to need to add? I ordered a DID X-ring is it ok if I throw in a couple DID O-Ring links? I dont want to buy another chain.

15/58 is -1/+12 on the F4i


Anyone else get in on this deal? I got a envelope today with a reciept (sp?) but no sprockets???

Re: Chain size help, anyone with a F4i come in please

normally when you buy a chain. you get it with the fullest length. just so then you cut it down to size. I thought every time you buy a chain, you have to get full chain. they won't size it down for you.. I ordered mine and it was huge. had to cut it down a lot.

there were a ton more links and i'm -1/+6..

you can get chains in I believe 120 links or 130 links. I was figuring I'd need 130 but I've been told otherwise. We'll see when it gets here!

U will not need any extra links U will have to cut some links off to get that 120 links to work. I went -1 +12 on my 900RR 108links is stock and I've got 8 links left over. I'm going to -1 and +17 just gonna have to add a few links to get this set up to work. Trust me your fine
