I'd use this;  EK Chain 525 SRX2 Quadra X-Ring Chain - 110 Links - Natural, Chain Length: 110

 

Amazon.com: EK Chain 525 SRX2 Quadra X-Ring Chain - 110 Links - Natural, Chain Length: 110, Chain Type: 525, Color: Natural, Chain Application: All EK 525SRX2 X 110: Automotive

You can even switch to a 520 chain size if you also switch sprockets... That's my plan... 525 is an odd size and 520 is pretty much universal from R1 to dirt bikes...

What is the reason for switching to a 520? Is there a benefit?

It's pretty much stocked in stores in my experience vs 525 ... Yes it's lighter, etc..

525 isn't an odd size. 520, 525, 530. All common, most stores will stock all three. 

R1's don't come with a 520 stock. I know a bunch of R1 models that came with 525, maybe all?

520 is lighter. Not by much and you wont notice any drastic difference. They are cheaper typically.

525 will generally cost more for equal quality, 525 will generally last longer. 

 

Which do you pick for an fj/tracer? Pros and cons don't really swing much either way, whatever your preference.
