Note
: the two sprockets should be inspected for wear when a new chain is installed and replaced if necessary.
If you find any of these problems with your sprocket, consult yoursuzuki dealer.

Chain replacement requires a special riveting tool and a high-quality, non-jointclip type chain. Ask an authorized suzuki dealer or qualified mechanic to perform this work. |
