6. 1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING/CAUTION/NOTE
Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully. To emphasize special information, the symbol
and the words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE have special meanings. Pay special attention to the mes-
sages highlighted by these signal words.
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or injury.
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in vehicle 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 vehicle. In addition to the WARNINGS
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 advice.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
* Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic and
the safety and reliability of the vehicle.
* When two 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 out-
doors.
* 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 manufacturer’s instructions.
* Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.
* To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil, radiator, and exhaust system
until they have cooled.
* After servicing the fuel, oil, exhaust or brake systems, check all of the lines, and fittings
related to the system for leaks.
7. GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
* If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with SUZUKI Genuine Parts or their equiv-
alent.
* 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.
* 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 lubricants, bonds, or sealants.
* When removing the battery, disconnect the - battery lead wire first, then the + battery lead
wire.
* When reconnecting the battery, connect the + battery lead wire first, then the - battery lead
wire. Finally, cover the + battery terminal with the terminal cover.
* When performing service to electrical parts, disconnect the - battery lead wire, unless the
service procedure requires the battery power.
* When tightening cylinder head and crankcase nuts and bolts, tighten the larger sizes first.
Always tighten the nuts and bolts from the inside working out, diagnoally and to the specified
torque.
* Whenever you remove oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, self-locking nuts, locking wash-
ers, cotter pins, circlips, snap rings and other specified parts, 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 and snap ring. When installing a new snap ring, take care not to expand
the end gap larger than required to slip the snap ring over the shaft. After installing a snap
ring, always ensure 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, all other fluids, bat-
teries, and tires.
* To protect the earth’s natural resources, properly dispose of used vehicles and parts.

SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
The frame serial number or V.I.N. (Vehicle Identification Number) 1 is stamped on the left side of the rear
frame pipe. The engine serial number 2 is located on the left side of the crankcase. These numbers are
required especially for registering the machine and ordering spare parts.
FUEL AND OIL RECOMMENDATION
FUEL (For CANADA and USA)
• Use only unleaded gasoline of at least 87 pump octane ( ) method or 91 octane or higher rated by
the Research Method.
• SUZUKI recommends that customers use alcohol-free unleaded gasoline whenever possible.
• Use of blended gasoline containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is permitted.
• Use of blended gasoline/alcohol fuel is permitted, provided that the fuel contains not more than 10% etha-
nol. Gasoline/alcohol fuel may contain up to 5% methanol if appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibi-
tors are present in it.
• If the performance of the vehicle is unsatisfactory while using blended gasoline/alcohol fuel, you should
switch to alcohol-free unleaded gasoline.
• Failure to follow these guidelines could possibly void applicable warranty coverage. Check with your fuel
supplier to make sure that the fuel you intend to use meets the requirements listed above.

9. GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
FUEL (For the other countries)
Use unleaded gasoline that is graded 91 octane or higher by the Research Method.
ENGINE OIL (For USA)
SUZUKI recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4
MOTOR OIL or oils that meet API service classifications SF or
SG and that have a viscosity rating of SAE 10W-40. If engine oil
with a rating of SAE 10W-40 is not available, select an alter-
native according to the chart.
ENGINE OIL (For the other countries)
Use a premium quality 4-stroke motor oil to ensure longer ser-
vice life of your vehicle. Use only oils that meet API service clas-
sifications SF or SG and that have a viscosity rating of SAE
10W-40. If engine oil with a rating of SAE 10W-40 is not avail-
able, select an alternative according to the chart.
REAR DRIVE GEAR OIL
Use hypoid gear oil that meets the API service classification GL-5 and is rated SAE #90. Use a hypoid gear
oil with a rating of SAE #80 if the vehicle is operated where the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
BRAKE FLUID
Specification and classification: DOT 4
BREAK-lN PROCEDURES
During manufacturing only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard. It is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-lN” 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. Refer to the following break-in engine speed recommendations.
• Keep to these breake-in engine speed limits.
Break-in engine speeds
Initial 10 hours: Less than ½ throttle
• After the engine has been operated for 10 hours the engine to full throttle operation, for short periods of
time.
This vehicle uses a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different types of brake fluid
such as silicone-based and petroleum-based fluids for refilling the system, otherwise serious
damage will result to the brake system.
Never use any brake fluid taken from old, used, or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid left over from the last servicing or which has been stored for a long
period of time.

MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES
This section describes the servicing procedures for each item
mentioned in the Periodic Maintenance chart.
AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be
increased, with a resultant decrease in power output and an
increase in fuel consumption. Check and clean the air cleaner
element in the following manner.
• Remove the seat. (7-4)
• Remove the air cleaner case cover 1.
NOTE:
Be careful not to drop the O-ring into the air cleaner box that is
attached to the air cleaner case cover.
• Loosen screw 2 in order to remove the air cleaner element
3.
• Separate the polyurethane foam element 4, element frame
5 and element holder.
• Fill a wash pan of a proper size with a non-flammable clean-
ing solvent. Immerse the air cleaner element in the cleaning
solvent and wash it.
• Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both
hands to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the
element or it will tear.
• Immerse the element in motor oil, and then squeeze out the
excess oil leaving the element slightly wet.
A Non-flammable cleaning solvent
B Motor oil SAE #30 or SAE 10W/40
Clean every 3 months.
