Gen 4 zx10r 520 chain lenght

    Switching to a 520 chain/ sprockets on a 2012 zx10r, wanted to check where I should aim for chain length/ rear axle in the slots.

    Is this a bike that would benefit from a longer or shorter wheelbase?
    I've maybe put 50 street miles on the bike so far and have no feel for the chassis whatsoever, haven't ridden it at the track at all.

    16 front and 42, 43 and 44 rears is what I've acquired so far and will try first.

    Responding to my own thread...

    I went with 114 links, the axle is a bit far back with 16/42 but the 43 and 44 rears will work well. I may take two more links out if I don't need to use the 42 rear

    Everything I've seen or heard was to run the rear axle towards the back.
