Firstly you have posted up twice the same thread fella.

Secondly you need new sprockets with a new chain.

To fit new chains to old sprockets is false economy.

Bite the bullet and buy a set.

If you have a mille swingarm fitted ask for a mille chain and sprocket set.
Tolerance will be our undoing.

A decent quality chainset will cost about £120 ish and will last a couple of years if you are on the case with chain lube ect.
Look on ebay

Standard length on a Falco is 106 links IIRC, unless you`ve changed the gearing
