O-ring Versus Regular Chain

[Water Warrior 2]

On my Vstrom, Suzuki has specs for chain wear/stretch. The distance measured over 21 links should not exceed XXX. Does anyone know if the GZ has this type of spec from Suzuki ?? It would likely be in a service manual for those who are good at searching.

The electronic version of the service manual is very easy to search.

It's also good to have the paper version. Not a printed copy of the PDF downloaded here. OCR being what it is the electronic version has a few errors. Anything critical should be verified.
