BREAK-IN (RUNNING-IN)

INFORMATION FOR YOUR

MOTORCYCLE

The first 1600 km (1000 miles) are the

most important in the life of your

motorcycle. Proper break-in operation

during this time will help ensure maxi-

mum life and performance from your

new motorcycle. Suzuki parts are

manufactured of high quality materi-

als, and machined parts are finished

to close tolerances. Proper break-in

operation allows the machined sur-

faces to polish each other and mate

smoothly.

Motorcycle reliability and perfor-

mance depend on special care and

restraint exercised during the break-in

period. It is especially important that

you avoid operating the engine in a

manner which could expose the

engine parts to excessive heat.

Please refer to the BREAK-IN (RUN-

NING-IN) section for specific break-in

recommendations.

ACCESSORY USE

The addition of unsuitable accesso-

ries can lead to unsafe operating con-

ditions. It is not possible for Suzuki to

test each accessory on the market or

combinations of all the available

accessories; however, your dealer

can assist you in selecting quality

accessories and installing them cor-

rectly. Use extreme caution when

selecting and installing the accesso-

ries on your motorcycle and consult

your Suzuki dealer if you have any

questions.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION

GUIDELINE

• Install aerodynamic-affecting

accessories, such as a fairing,

windshield, backrests, saddle-

bags, and travel trunks, as low as

possible, as close the motorcycle

and as near the center of gravity

as is feasible. Check that the

mounting brackets and other

attachment hardware are rigidly

mounted.

• Inspect for proper ground clear-

ance and bank angle. Inspect that

the accessory does not interfere

with the operation of the suspen-

sion, steering or other control

operations.

• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bars or the front fork area can cre-

ate serious stability problems.

This extra weight will cause the

motorcycle to be less responsive

to your steering control. The

weight may also cause oscillations

in the front end and lead to insta-

bility problems. Accessories

added to the handlebars or front

fork of the machine should be as

light as possible and kept to a

minimum.

• Select an accessory which does

not limit the freedom of rider

movement.

• Select an electric accessory

which does not exceed motorcy-

cle’s electrical system capacity.

Severe overloads may damage

the wiring harness or create haz-

ardous situations.

• Do not pull a trailer or sidecar.

This motorcycle is not designed to

pull a trailer or sidecar.

WARNING

Improper installation of accesso-

ries or modification of the motor-

cycle may cause changes in

handling which could lead to an

accident.

Never use improper accessories,

and make sure that any accesso-

ries that are used are properly

installed. All parts and accesso-

ries added to the motorcycle

should be genuine Suzuki parts or

their equivalent designed for use

on this motorcycle. Install and use

them according to their instruc-

tions. If you have any questions,

contact your Suzuki dealer.

Vehicle Weight) of this motorcycle.

The G.V.W. is the combined

weight of the machine, accesso-

ries, payload, rider and passen-

ger. When selecting your

accessories, keep in mind the

weight of the rider as well as the

weight of the accessories. The

additional weight of the accesso-

ries may not only create an unsafe

riding condition but may also

affect the riding stability.

G.V.W.: 475 kg (1045 lbs) at the

tire pressure (cold)

Front: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm

, 36 psi)

Rear: 290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm

, 42 psi)

• Do not attach large or heavy items

to the handlebars, front forks or

rear fender.

• Do not install a luggage carrier or

a luggage box protruding over the

tail end of the motorcycle.

• Do not carry any items that pro-

trude over the tail end of the

motorcycle.

• Check that both tires are properly

inflated to the specified tire pres-

sure for your loading conditions.

Refer to page 6-39.

• Improperly loading your motorcy-

cle can reduce your ability to bal-

ance and steer the motorcycle.

You should ride at reduced

speeds, less than 130 km/h (80

mph), when you are carrying

cargo or have added accessories.

• Adjust suspension setting as nec-

essary.

trol and an accident.

with steering and can lose control.

Do not carry any objects in the

SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATION

FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS

Motorcycle riding is great fun and an

exciting sport. Motorcycle riding also

requires that some extra precautions

be taken to ensure the safety of the

rider and passenger. These precau-

tions are:

WEAR A HELMET

Motorcycle safety equipment starts

with a quality helmet. One of the most

serious injuries that can happen is a

head injury. ALWAYS wear a properly

approved helmet. You should also

wear suitable eye protection.

RIDING APPAREL

Loose, fancy clothing can be uncom-

fortable and unsafe when riding your

motorcycle. Choose good quality

motorcycle riding apparel when riding

your motorcycle.

INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING

Review thoroughly the instructions in

the “INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”

section of this manual. Do not forget

to perform an entire safety inspection

to ensure the safety of the rider and

its passenger.

FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH

THE MOTORCYCLE

Your riding skill and your mechanical

knowledge form the foundation 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. Remember practice

makes perfect.

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Ride within the boundaries of your

own skill at all times. Knowing these

limits and staying within them will help

you to avoid accidents.

BE EXTRA SAFETY CONSCIOUS

ON BAD WEATHER DAYS

Riding on bad weather days, espe-

cially wet ones, requires extra cau-

tion. Braking distances double on a

rainy day. Stay off the painted surface

marks, manhole covers and greasy

appearing areas as they can be espe-

cially slippery. Use extreme caution at

railway crossings and on metal grat-

ings and bridges. Whenever in doubt

about road condition, slow down!
