Does the chain length alter when you change the sprocket sizes?

It dipends. I my case it did change a lot. But you can buy chain kit where it fits with the ratio you choose.

After searching it would appear that a chain and sprocket kit is only available in either standard form.15/47 or14/47 as an alternative.

Anyone know if any of the xt's etc chainset is the same and transferable?..

Buy both sprockets and chain separately.
Both rear and front sprockets come in variety of tooth numbers, and you can lengthen/shorten the chain to your needs by adding (if necessary) a bit of chain, securing it with two master links. Shortening is easier, requires only one master link.
But I don't think you will need to change the length of the chain if you won't go to extremities.

Cheers!

Yes they are. I just put a 47t TT600RE sprocket on my 2000 XT600E. They are the same except for the number of teeth (47 is stock on the TT600RE and 45 on the XT600E).

The TT600RE and 2000 XT600E front sprockets also are the same. The TTR600 had a different sprocket and so did the early XT's, don't know the exact years.

Yeah, me to. I went 14/47 on my XT600E when I replaced the chain/sprockets last week. Great around town, excellent offroad but a little buzzy on the blacktop. About 4k rmp's at 90km/h, 4,5K at 100km. The TT600RE is more off road oriented, I liked 14/47 on my 2005, but I was not really looking for comfort on the road.

I will go 15/47 and see how that works out.
