My drive chain mystery
I'm new to chain numbers, & I need some help getting the correct information about what drive chain I have, in order to replace it.
I’ve searched for an answer but I’m not finding what I think is correct.
I have a 96 f3 & the sprockets & chain has been changed by the PO. It currently has a front 15 sprocket (jtf1371-15), a rear 45 sprocket (jtr1304-45) & a 525 chain (kcm 525uo). When I researched the chain it states extended 150 link. I counted the rollers on the chain & it came out to 115.
Thanks again.

hey there, ive got a '96 F3 and just went thru buying and installing a new chain and sprocket set. The bike came stock with a 15T front and 43T rear using a 530 chain 108 links. I bought a 520 chain and matching stock sprockets. 530 chain and sprockets are beefier and heavier, while 520 is lighter but still plenty strong for our bikes. You want to buy the same size 530 or 525 or 520 for all pieces.
example: 520 chain 520 front gear, 520 rear gear.
If you stick with stock gear teeth, you just need 108 links of chain. i found a great deal on a Regina chain that had 110 links, so i just ground off two and was on my way. Saved a good deal of cash compared to those "Kits". any other questions please ask. good luck

No, but like I stated it is +2 on the rear sprocket.
I was thinking about getting a 525 116 link to be a direct swap for it.
