Match the pitch (525) and tooth counts in the table - chain and sprockets are a matched set, and a mismatched pitch will not fit the sprockets at all.

Frequently asked

What chain size does a Yamaha FZ8 N/NA use?

GarageDex's manufacturer-catalogue data shows the 2010-2015 Yamaha FZ8 N/NA uses a 525 chain with 16-tooth front and 46-tooth rear sprockets from the factory. (122 links)

What is the stock gearing on a Yamaha FZ8 N/NA?

16-tooth front and 46-tooth rear from the factory, part numbers front JTF1591RB, rear JTR300.

What changes if I go +2 teeth on the rear sprocket?

Going up 2 teeth on the rear sprocket (or down 1-2 on the front) lowers the gearing: quicker acceleration off the line, but a lower top speed, and the chain usually needs to be 1-2 links longer to keep enough wrap on the front sprocket - a shop or the sprocket's fitment chart will confirm the exact link count for that combination. This is a generic mechanical rule, not a claim about this specific model's aftermarket options.

How many links does a Yamaha FZ8 N/NA chain have?

122 links at stock length and gearing, per the manufacturer catalogue.
