Stupid chain question...

Okay, so I blindly ordered a chain and sprockets a few weeks ago
without doing much research. I got the Suzuki OEM chain.

My understanding is that I can use a chain breaker to pop out one of
the rivets on the old chain to remove it, and pop out one of the
rivets on the new chain to put it on without having to remove the
swingarm. Once on, I can use the chain breaker to mash the rivet back
in.

But then, there was a post about having the OEM Suzuki chain being
endless and having to remove the swingarm to install it. Is that
right? I've hit up many chain changing sites, but nobody's actually
got good details on endless chains and chain breakers - most are about
clips or don't go any farther than "use the chain breaker to break the
chain".

If I can indeed use a breaker on this chain, is there a specific pin I
should be looking for, or do I need to pick up a special master link?

Guidance here would be greatly appreciated :)
