Things might have changed but my 2017 has a 530 chain. I dont know what the difference is in them. I know when I ordered different sprockets they were for a 530.

A 530 is way overkill for a 20 hp bike but it might last forever if taken care of. A 520 is the same pitch (sprocket tooth distance) just a bit narrower. So if you shave down the thickness of your 530 sprockets you can run a 520.

A 520 is also a bit overkill for a 20hp bike. But, given the weight of the bike, diameter of the tires, and terrain/use of the bike in general a 428 chain is just a bit on the other end of the spectrum and falls into the adequate but highly stressed end of things. Honda put a 520 chain on the CRF230F for that reason. Cost wise there isn't a whole lot between them, and the weight difference between a 428H and 520 chain is very minimal. That is why I swapped my Hawk over to a 520 setup. It might be overkill, but at least I know it shouldn't break and will last a very long time with proper care.
