Im sure this has been posted somewhere, but after using the search both on here and google Im coming up empty handed.
How many links would you need for a 525 -1/+2 sprocket change?
Please put me out of my misery

You would think you could find answers like this, but I just spent 20 minutes trying to find out. I found no definite answers, but I believe it would be 110 links. Best thing to do is just buy a chain/sprocket kit. I like RK chains, I wanted to go -1 front with stock rear, so I just bought one of their kits. You get both sprockets, master link, and correct length chain for your bike.
That's a pretty popular gearing you want, so i'd say RK as well as other chain/sprocket companies would offer that in a kit.

That link is for a -1/+2 520 conversion chain and sprocket kit from RK and it says it comes with a 108 link chain.
Not 100% as I dont have it on my bike though.

That's a -1 only, it has factory size rear (46). That is not what he wants.
Right on thanks.
The -1/+2 is supposed to be better off the line than the -1/0 correct?
I just got a speedohealer hooked up, and the calibration is much higher for the -1/0 than the other. Meaning the -1/0 throws off the speedo more.

Yeah, the -1/+2 would be better off the line as it is geared lower. Myself, I have the -1/0 combo and love it for street use. I would not want to gear mine any lower, but that is my own personal preference.
The -1/+2 would throw off the speedo more because it is geared lower than the -1/0 combo. Using the online calculator for 12oclock Labs' SpeedoDRD, the -1/0 would be off 6.2% while the -1/+2 would be off 10.2%.
