No the stock chains are riveted at the factory with a regular link making them effectively endless, but almost impossible to fail. You either have to cut it with a cut off wheel or grinder (easiest) or a chain rivet tool (harder) or disassemble the swingarm (hardest).

... or you could always use a hacksaw.  It's only steel.
