Yamalink impact on chain length

Hey guys-
I'm on an 08 WRR running 12/43 w/ the stock chain (Which I'm assuming is 108) and a Yamalink. It is a trail bike so I'm considering a 45 or a 47 but I'm not sure if I should take into consideration the Yamalink. I don't know
that much about suspension so I'm guessing at best. Any suggestions?

Thanks
T

The only thing the link would do is probably change is the amount of slack at ride height. The Yamalink does not change the pivit point of the swing arm.

Thanks!

Todd,

Not sure if you have seen the following link but Rick's bike has been lowered with shock settings as well as with addition of a yamalink. The photos show what he sets for chain tension which is a bit different that the Yamaha service bulletin due to the fact that he lowered the bike. Take a peek and then decide where you want to set yours.
