i am wondering if anyone with a gs swingarm on a 650 can help. i was wondering if a 114 link chain would be long enough with the gs swingarm.

I have a KZ650C with the GS1100 aluminum swingarm and I had to go to a 110 link chain. 114 links will be to long if you are using the stock sprockets.

i tried it but i don't think it will give you modified lengths. the stock chain for the kz650c is 102 but the gs swingarm adds a few inches.

Why mess around when baldy110 has already done what you want to do, and has given you the answer?

Yes you can easily shorten a chain, so if you have a 120 link chain just take off 10 links. But you can order a 110 link chain and save a few bucks.
