Hawk Chain Confusion

BrianW · 09-24-2019, 01:52 PM

Changing my rear sprocket has taken entirely too long. At first I was sent the wrong sprocket from amazon and did not return it in time to get it swapped for the correct one. Now, I damaged the master link clip when removing it so I went to the local Honda shop and picked up a replacement 520 o-ring master link. I get back (which i bought used with many upgrades already completed) to the bike to realize that my chain is in fact a 428.

Am I correct in thinking the 428 is the stock chain? The interesting thing is that the first incorrect sprocket seemed to too sloppy for the existing chain, while the new sprocket (for the 520) seems like it fits perfectly.
