Default Changing front sprocket... chain length change also

I am replacing the front sprocket, rear sprocket and chain on my 99 CBR 600 FX.

I am sticking with the 525 size chain.

Stock sprockets were 45 tooth rear and 16 tooth front. I am going to a 15 tooth on the front so I can pop the front ;p

Stock chain length is 110 links, now my front sprocket is -1 tooth do I still leave my chain at 110 links?

Move the rear wheel close as possible and measure and cut the chain . Then check your chain deflection .

Stock chain length should work fine.

Yes, the stock chain length should work. But measure just to be sure. -1 tooth in front shouldn't make too much of a difference.
