DF70A Timing belt

[Ginslee]

Hi Guys,

So I have a 2010 DF70A and I was wondering if the timing belt ever needs to be replaced? I don't see it listed on the maintenance schedule. Does this mean it never needs to be replaced or inspected?

Thanks!

No timing belts in a Suzuki, they use a chain. No mention of routine maintenance schedule in my service manual(2009 DF90A)

Great, I wasn't able to find much on it but I found this:

Yes it is! The timing chain is located below the powerhead where it runs in a continual oil bath for dependable and quiet operation. With Suzuki's exclusive automatic hydraulic chain tensioner, you can focus on boating and having a good time. (DF40, 50, 60, 70, 90, 115, 140, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 250SS, 300).
