I believe it is the same as the F4i @ 108 links, Some chains come with more (120) but whoever is installing it will cut it to length.

Yep, 108 links is sufficient. The factory service manual for F4 says 110 but when the F4i came out & they combined the manuals, it was revised to 108. Just FYI, F4 = 16/45, F4i = 16/46. So you can see how 108 works for both.

Also, sometimes, a 110 link chain will cost less than a 120.
