Default -1 front = new chain?
If i got a 15 tooth (-1) front sprocket would I have to cut my stock length chain? If I did how many links would need to be removed and would a dealer do all that for me or would it better for me to do it?

you can use -1 with stock chain...
or +2 rear with stock chain.

after you do any type of sprocket change...pay no attention to the chain wear indicator.

you can do all this yourself with the right tools.

i don't think -2 will work with stock chain. you really don't want to do -2 cause it'll cause the chain to wear faster.
