I used a 2.5 pound hammer and a small ball peen hammer.Rested the big hammer up against the rivit and peened over the other end of the rivit with the ball of the small hammer. Does not need a heavy hand, just short sharp taps to peen the rivits over.
Should be able to get them from any shops that stock DID drive chains.
If you check here: http://piaggiospares.co.uk/spares/partImage.asp?GPN=741.21.25&uid=0 they do DID or borger camchains depending on what's available, I'm sure you could ask specifically for a DID chain if that's what you want.

Does not need a heavy hand, just short sharp taps to peen the rivits over. Would you know where I'd get a DID cam chain? There are a lot listed as DID/ID but they are ID chains and I'd like to go for a DID chain as I've used their chains before.
What Km should fz400 (4yr) have to change the camchain and tension? Mine have about 54,000 I think never have been changed.Some other thing I think I have a problem into the fan switch I allready test the fan which is working so I think is the fan switch but I couldnt find this part,any ones know from where can I buy one? Thanks
Out of interest where does the tensioner live?
What mileage is on you bike?A complete cam chain means a major engine strip down as you need to lift out the crank to get the chain on and you cannot just seperate the crankcases as two of the crankcase bolts are under the barrel . A split chain from an engine point of view is just the carburettors, alternator cover and cam cover and cam chain tensioner off first and then the plugs and cams out. Split the chain and attached the new chain to the split link. With your third hand, turn the engine over holding the chain tightly and feeding it through. Install the cams, join the chain, check the cam timing, install the tensioner, check cam timing again. Replace the cam covers, alternator cover and carburettors.Max time about 6 hours for a split chain (a very good mechanic could probably do it in 4 )
