I would not really go by those marks to determine when you should replace the chain. I switched to a 39 tooth rear sprocket on my 750 Spirit and my chain adjuster is now past the mark to replace because of the smaller sprocket.

If you have stuck links, rusty links, or any rollers that won't roll, then you should replace the chain. If the chain is properly adjusted (I use the 2 finger method on all my bike), and you can pull the chain off of the rear sprocket and see more than a 1/4 of the tooth it's time for a new chain. You should replace at least the rear sprocket at the same time.

I still wouldn't worry about the marks. You should do the link pull test. Adjust the chain tension to the factory specs, pull on a link on the rear, and see how much tooth you can see.
