probably not unless its been stretched enough, which means its close to needing replacement, which mean it will probably eat up your sprockets. If I were you I'd replace the chain, but hell its not my bike lol

Ya, I think they only come in like incraments of 10 or so. So thats probably the next longer size than the one you've got. Get the 120 and measure that ****, then cut off some links if you need to

Re: **help needed**

double check the stock chain length before you buy a chain. I had an F4i and it has a 120 link chain stock so get a new chain at least several links longer. On my F4i I just bought a 130 link EK chain, better to buy a little too long than a little too short.

not so, your chain doesn't use one link for every number of teeth it has. ex. if you go up 14 in back you don't need 14 more links to make it work.

i've heard of people going -2 + 1 up to 3. but each bike is diffrent...TED
