Changing over to a 520 sprocket and chain

2020 hawk some where I thought I saw that you can switch to a 520 chain and sprocket set up is this possible and still change sprocket sizes more suitable for mostly road use

Unless it’s a file photo the sprocket they show would not fit in the hub where c clip goes

Yes I found that it calls for JTR279 and the one they have pictured and says it’s 90 mm in center don’t seem right

Many times Amazon shows different pics for sprockets so you cannot go by that. Here is a link to jtr website showing the dimensions of the sprocket. It will indeed fit unless there have been changes to the HAWK.

I got more out of 1st and 2nd gear when I switched over. I mostly ride side streets 45-50 mph was easier to achieve and not have to work so hard to keep there. I'm a big guy with lots of wind resistance.
