 WARNING
Improperly installing a replace-
ment chain, or using a joint-clip
type chain, can be hazardous. An
incompletely riveted master link,
or a joint-clip type master link,
may come apart and cause an
accident or severe engine dam-
age.
Do not use a joint-clip type chain.
Chain replacement requires a spe-
cial riveting tool and a high-qual-
ity, non-joint-clip type chain. Ask
an authorized Suzuki dealer or a
qualified mechanic to perform this
work.
