On another blog that I used to participate in it became common place to replace the 530 chain on their Honda 500 singles with 520. I stayed with the 530. I'm also staying with the 520 on my Ninja. The difference in un-sprung weight of a 415 vs. 420 is negligible but I believe the durability/longevity of a 520 is significant.
