I am considering fitting a 15 tooth front sprocket to my 2004 FZ6 Fazer. I will need to replace the chain too, obviously but how many links fewer than standard should it be.

6-7 links.. you need to move the axle all the way forward when installing a new chain... (it will stretch!) moving the axle all the way forward gives you plenty of adjustment later!!
You can add teeth to the front sprocket or take teeth off of the rear sprocket. In the case of your bike , I do not think there is a 17 tooth front available so your best option would be to shorten your chain and drop from the 44 tooth rear sprocket to 40 tooth or a 36 tooth rear sprocket. That would be like adding one or two teeth to the front sprocket. Your stock is 16/44 so decrease from there. Be sure to ID your chain, get a chain breaker, and a new master link.
The stock rear sprocket is 41 tooth. The stock front sprocket is 15 tooth. The stock chain is 630 x 96. You can get OEM parts at www.babbittsonline.com/parts/viewbybrand/parts.aspx
Rear sprocket is $52.91. front sprocket is $21.74 and chain is $201.07 Please rate my answer. Thanks.
Hi ........... One tooth less will give you more top speed (if you can pull top revs) but will reduce accelleration. If you go for one tooth less you'll need to tighten the chain and/or remove a link. It's a trade off ............ decide what you want the bike to do.
