The chain is 520/112 but the guy at the store said I need a minimum of 110...which is what’s confusing me. It’s 2 links short.

I haven’t counted it yet. Will try and count tomorrow. And check the adjusters.
 
Are people sticking with the stock gearing on the 500X or changing it up a bit to wake it up? MP may want to ride with the old chain for a bit to decide if different sprockets would be a better fit for him.

Excellent point. A couple of rides no matter how bad the chain is (assuming it passed safety), should be fine.
