Indicates a potential hazard that could result in motorcycle damage.

NOTE:

Indicates special information to make maintenance easier or instructions clearer.

Please note, however, that the warnings and cautions contained in this manual cannot possibly cover all

potential hazards relating to the servicing, or lack of servicing, of the motorcycle. In addition to the WARN-

INGS and CAUTIONS stated, you must use good judgement and basic mechanical safety principles. If you

are unsure about how to perform a particular service operation, ask a more experienced mechanic for ad-

vice.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

* Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic and

the safety and reliability of the motorcycle.

* When 2 or more persons work together, pay attention to the safety of each other.

* When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that exhaust gas is forced outdoors.

* When working with toxic or flammable materials, make sure that the area you work in is well-

ventilated and that you follow all of the material manufacturer’s instructions.

* Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.

* To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil and exhaust system until they have

cooled.

* After servicing the fuel, oil, exhaust or brake systems, check all lines and fittings related to the

system for leaks.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3

* If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or their equiva-

lent.

* When removing parts that are to be reused, keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that

they may be reinstalled in the proper order and orientation.

* Be sure to use special tools when instructed.

* Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are clean. Lubricate them when specified.

* Use the specified lubricant, bond, or sealant.

* When removing the battery, disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive cable.

When reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable,

and replace the terminal cover on the positive terminal.

* When performing service to electrical parts,if the service procedures not require use of battery

power, disconnect the negative cable the battery.

* When tightening the cylinder head and case bolts and nuts, tighten the larger sizes first. A l -

ways tighten the bolts and nuts diagonally from the inside working out and to the speci fied

tightening torque.

* Whenever you remove oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, locking washers, self-locking nuts,

cotter pins, circlips and certain other parts as specified, be sure to replace them with new

ones. Also, before installing these new parts, be sure to remove any left over material from

the mating surfaces.

* Never reuse a circlip.When installing a new circlip, take care not to expand the end gap larger

than required to slip the circlip over the shaft. After installing a circlip, always ensure that it is

completely seated in its groove and securely fitted.

* Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the specified torque.Wipe off grease and oil if a

thread is smeared with them.

* After reassembling, check parts for tightness and proper operation.

* To protect the environment, do not unlawfully dispose of used motor oil, engine coolant and

other fluids: batteries, and tires.

* To protect Earth’s natural resources, properly dispose of used motorcycle and parts.

ENGINE OIL

Use a premium quality 4-stroke motor oil to ensure longer ser-

vice life of your motorcycle. Use only oils which are rated SF or

SG under the API service classification.

The recommended viscosity is SAE 10W-40. If an SAE 10W-40

motor oil is not available, select an alternative according to the

following chart.

BRAKE FLUID

Specification and classification: DOT 4

Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manufac-

turer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based fluid

for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result.

Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.

Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long

period.

FRONT FORK OIL

Use fork oil #10.

FUEL AND OIL RECOMMENDATION

FUEL

Gasoline used should be graded 91 octane (Research Method) or higher. Unleaded gasoline is recom-

mended.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very

high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN”before subjecting the engine to

maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint

exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.

•Keep to these break-in procedures:

Initial 800 km : Less than 1/2 throttle

Up to 1 600 km : Less than 3/4 throttle

•Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation.

•Do not maintain constant engine speed for an extended time period during any portion of the break-in. Try

to vary the throttle position.
