Chain suggestions?

Done and done. Went with a 15 / 46. Thanks for all your time and help, mr sobottka!

Alright folks. Got my new toys in the mail. Do I have to take out links of the chain for proper fitment, or do I just put the master link on and good to go? Would be nice if we had an 06 R6 chain installation how-to around here.

When you order a chain, I think it usually comes with 120 links. You'll probably have to remove some. I usually just either count links, and/or line the old chain up with the new. If you've changed gearing significantly, you may need your new chain to be a different length than your old one. how many links are in the stock chain?

I think there's a way to tell how long you should make it, but hopefully someone with your bike and gearing will chime in.

This is the chain

Definitely going to have to take some links out, got a new front and rear sprocket - 15 / 46. The instructions also suggest using a special DID tool to clamp on the master link. Anyone have experience with these chains?

you'll need to rivit the master link on with a special tool or take it to your local shop/dealer and they could do it for you. motion pro makes a cheap chain tool, it is "cheap" but works.
