520 has less rotating mass. supposedly that means you accelerate faster. but they wear out quicker.

525-530's little bit heavier but last longer.

not sure what stock is. look at your manual

Just be sure that the sprockets and chain are both the same pitch (520, 525, or 530). You prob. won't notice much difference between the 520 and 530, especially if you're going with the sprocket set you're thinking about. I'd go with the 530 and make it last longer. Stay away from Vortex sprockets...they're crap. If you get aluminum make sure you go with hard anodized - they'll last longer.

525 is the stock chain
16/46 is the stock sprocket
