THE SPORT OF

MOTORCYCLING

Your motorcycle and this owner’s

manual have been designed by

people like you who enjoy motor-

cycling. People become motorcy-

clists for many reasons. For

starters, street riding is fun and

invigorating. But no matter why

you became a motorcyclist, or

how experienced you are, you will

eventually face some challenging

situations.

In preparing for these challenges,

you will be fine-tuning your coordi-

nation, concentration, and atti-

tude. Learning the skills and

strategies associated with motor-

cycling is the basis for safely par-

ticipating in this sport. Many

motorcyclists find that as they

become better riders, they also

get more enjoyment from the free-

dom unique to motorcycling.

Please remember:

MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE

AVOIDED

The most common type of motor-

cycle accident in the U.S. occurs

when a car traveling towards a

motorcycle turns left in front of the

motorcycle. Is that because other

drivers are out to get motorcy-

clists? No. Other drivers simply

don’t always notice motorcyclists.

Ride defensively. Wise motorcy-

clists use a strategy of assuming

they are invisible to other drivers,

even in broad daylight. Pay care-

ful attention to other motorists,

especially at intersections,

because they may not be paying

attention to you. Select a lane

position that gives you the best

view of others, and other motor-

ists the best view of you. Wear

bright, reflective clothing. Put

reflective strips on your helmet.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A HELMET,

BUY A HELMET AND WEAR IT

EVERY TIME YOU RIDE

Most accidents occur within a few

miles of home, and almost half

occur at speeds of less than 30

mph. So even if you’re just going

on a quick errand, be prepared –

strap on your helmet before you

take off.

Helmets do not reduce essential

vision or hearing. Generally, hel-

mets do not cause or intensify

injury if you crash. Helmets simply

help your skull protect your intelli-

gence, your memory, your per-

sonality, and your life.

Your eyesight is equally valuable.

Wearing suitable eye protection

can help keep your vision

unblurred by the wind and save

your eyes from airborne hazards

like bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked

up by tires.

IF A COLLISION IS IMMINENT,

DO SOMETHING

Many riders fear locking up their

brakes or haven’t learned to

swerve to avoid an accident.

Many inexperienced riders (and

too many seasoned riders) use

only their rear brake in an emer-

gency, resulting in unnecessary

impacts in some cases and

unnecessarily high impact speeds

in other cases. Your rear brake

can only provide about 30% of

your motorcycle’s potential stop-

ping power. The front and rear

brakes can and should be used

together to maximize braking

effectiveness.

Experienced motorcyclists learn

to “cover” the front brake lever by

lightly resting a couple of fingers

over the lever when riding in traffic

and near intersections to give

their reaction time a head start.

Emergency stopping and swerv-

ing are techniques that you

should practice and master before

you find yourself in an emergency

situation. The best place to prac-

tice such techniques is in a con-

trolled environment such as the

Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s

(MSF) rider training courses. The

MSF’s Motorcycle Rider Courses

(fundamental techniques) and

Experienced Watercourses

(advanced strategies) present

hands-on instruction of the basic

principles of motorcycling and a

variety of accident-avoidance

maneuvers. Even a seasoned

motorcyclist can improve his or

her riding skills, and pick up a few

new skills, through these courses.

Some insurance companies even

offer discounts to course gradu-

ates.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS REQUIRE

SPECIAL CARE

Of course, there are some times

when full-force braking is not the

correct technique. When the road

surface is wet, loose, or rough,

you should brake with care. When

you’re leaned over in a corner,

avoid braking. Straighten up

before braking. Better yet, slow

down before entering a corner.

In these situations, the traction

available between your tires and

the road surface is limited. Over-

braking when traction is limited

will cause your tires to skid, possi-

bly resulting in loss of directional

control or causing you and your

motorcycle to fall over.

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Always ride within the boundaries

of your own skills. Knowing these

limits and staying within them will

help you avoid accidents.

A major cause of accidents involv-

ing only a motorcycle (and no

cars) is going too fast through a

turn. Before entering a turn, select

an appropriately low cornering

speed. Even on straight roads,

ride at a speed that is appropriate

1-4

for the traffic, visibility and road

conditions, your motorcycle, and

your experience.

Riding a motorcycle safely

requires that your mental and

physical skills are fully part of the

experience. You should not

attempt to operate a motor vehi-

cle, especially one with two

wheels, if you are tired or under

the influence of alcohol or other

drugs. Alcohol, illegal drugs, and

even some prescription and over-

the-counter drugs can cause

drowsiness, loss of coordination,

loss of balance, and especially

the loss of good judgment. If you

are tired or under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs, PLEASE

DO NOT RIDE your motorcycle.

BE EXTRA SAFETY-CONSCIOUS

ON BAD WEATHER DAYS

Riding on bad weather days,

especially wet ones, requires

extra caution. Braking distances

increase on a rainy day. Stay off

the painted surface marks, man-

hole covers, and greasy-appear-

ing areas, as they can be

especially slippery. Use extra cau-

tion at railway crossings and on

metal gratings and bridges. When

it starts to rain, any oil or grease

on the road rises to the surface of

the water. Pull over and wait a few

minutes until this oil film is

washed away before riding.

Whenever in doubt about road

conditions, slow down!

PRACTICE AWAY FROM

TRAFFIC

Your riding skill and your mechan-

ical knowledge form the founda-

tion for safe riding practices. We

suggest that you practice riding

your motorcycle in a non-traffic

situation until you are thoroughly

familiar with your machine and its

controls. Again, consider taking

one of the MSF’s Rider Courses.

Even experts will be pleased with

the caliber of the information pre-

sented in these courses. As the

MSF says: “The more you know,

the better it gets!”

INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING

Review the instructions in the

“INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”

section of this manual. Perform an

entire pre-ride inspection before

you head out on the road. Spend-

ing a few minutes preparing your

machine for a ride can help pre-

vent accidents due to mechanical

failure or costly, inconvenient

breakdowns far from home.

ACCESSORIES AND LOADING

The accessories you use with

your motorcycle and the manner

in which you load your gear onto

the bike might create hazards.

Aerodynamics, handling, balance,

and cornering clearance can suf-

fer, and the suspension and tires

can be overloaded. Read the

“ACCESSORY USE AND

MOTORCYCLE LOADING” sec-

tion.

www.ClassicCycles.org

1-5

CARRYING A PASSENGER

Carrying a passenger, when done

correctly, is a great way to share

the joy of motorcycling. You will

have to alter your riding style

somewhat since the extra weight

of a passenger will affect handling

and braking. You may also need

to adjust tire pressures and sus-

pension; please refer to the Tire

Pressure and Loading section

and the Suspension section for

more details.

A passenger needs the same pro-

tection that you do, including a

helmet and proper clothing. The

passenger should not wear long

shoe laces or loose pants that

could get caught in the wheel or

the chain. Passengers must be

tall enough that their feet reach

the footrests.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

FOUNDATION’S “RIDING TIPS

AND PRACTICE GUIDE”

HANDBOOK (FOR OWNERS IN

USA)

This special handbook, supplied

with your owner’s manual, con-

tains a variety of safety tips, help-

ful hints, and practice exercises.

This manual can increase your

riding enjoyment and safety. You

should read it thoroughly.

BE STREET SMART

Always heed speed limits, local

laws, and the basic rules of the

road. Set a good example for oth-

ers by demonstrating a courteous

attitude and a responsible riding

style.

CONCLUSION

Traffic, road and weather condi-

tions vary. Other motorists’

actions are unpredictable. Your

motorcycle’s condition can

change. These factors can best

be dealt with by giving every ride

your full attention.

Circumstances beyond your con-

trol could lead to an accident. You

need to prepare for the unex-

pected by wearing a helmet and

other protective gear, and learn-

ing emergency braking and

swerving techniques to minimize

the damage to you and your

machine.

The best way to learn basic riding

skills and evasive maneuvers or

refresh your own riding skills is to

take one of the courses offered by

the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

Your Suzuki dealer can help you

locate the fundamental or

advanced riding skills course

nearest you, or owners in the USA

can call toll-free 1-800-446-9227.

Good riding on your new Suzuki!

FUEL, ENGINE OIL

AND COOLANT

RECOMMENDATIONS

FUEL

Your motorcycle requires regular

unleaded gasoline with a mini-

mum pump octane rating of 87

((R+M)/2 method). In some areas,

the only fuels that are available

are oxygenated fuels.

Oxygenated fuels which meet the

minimum octane requirement and

the requirements described below

may be used in your motorcycle

without jeopardizing the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty or the

Emission Control System War-

ranty.

NOTE: Oxygenated fuels are

fuels which contain oxygen-carry-

ing additives such as MTBE or

alcohol.

Gasoline Containing MTBE

Unleaded gasoline containing

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl

Ether) may be used in your motor-

cycle if the MTBE content is not

greater than 15%. This oxygen-

ated fuel does not contain alco-

hol.

Gasoline/Ethanol Blends

Blends of unleaded gasoline and

ethanol (grain alcohol), also

known as “GASOHOL”, may be

used in your vehicle if the ethanol

content is not greater than 10%.

Gasoline/Methanol Blends

Fuels containing 5% or less meth-

anol (wood alcohol) may be suit-

able for use in your motorcycle if

they contain co-solvents and cor-

rosion inhibitors.

DO NOT USE fuels containing

more than 5% methanol under

any circumstances. Fuel system

damage or motorcycle perfor-

mance problems resulting from

the use of such fuels are not the

responsibility of Suzuki and may

not be covered under the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty or the

Emission Control System War-

ranty.

Fuel Pump Labeling

In some states, pumps that dis-

pense oxygenated fuels are

required to be labeled for the type

and percentage of oxygen, and

whether important additives are

present. Such labels may provide

enough information for you to

determine if a particular blend of

fuel meets the requirements listed

above. In other states, pumps

may not be clearly labeled as to

the content or type of oxygen and

additives. If you are not sure that

the fuel you intend to use meets

these requirements, check with

the service station operator or the

fuel supplier.
