I have 15/45 but if I were you I qould go with either the 16/40 or 16/41. I've ridden one with 16/40 530 chain, it was much better than stock but still could have used alittle more snap when taking off.
You could even go a 15/38 which would help you maintain the lower weight gained by the 520. Lower front will get you even more lost weight and keep you from putting a larger on the rear adding some of the weight you just took off. something to think about. Gearing wise this will put you between the 16/40 and 16/41.RIP Ron

Man that's alot of extra weight.Originally posted by tillerboy

Longer chain
larger front sprocket
larger rear sprocket
He probably lost 2 HP to the rear wheel with that set up.
Would be much better off with a 15/ 41 or 15/40RIP Ron
