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 :) ------------------------------------------------- For all your SV needs: http://www.svrider.com To change your list settings or leave SV650-L, please visit http://www.hawkgt.com/sv650/lists.asp
