It seems 118 is correct for XL650V according this specs:
Honda XL650V Technical Specifications
If sprockets have the same number of tooth as factory sprockets then don't fit longer chain as you run out of tightening room (you new chain acts like old loose "stretched" chain which can't be tightened any more). Let the dealer remove 2 links.

Yes, it is interesting that the same Honda electronic parts data also tells about my XL600V-T that chain is 120 links but actually is 118. Perhaps for some regions/years it was 120 links and they supply universal length than can be shortened by 2 links.
