FUEL (For the other models)

Gasoline used should be graded 85 -95 octane by the Research method or higher. An unleaded gasoline is recommended.

ENGINE OIL (For U.S.A. model)

Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI PE R FORMANCE 4 MOTOR 01 L or an oil which is rated SE or SF under the API (American Petroleum Institute) classification system. The viscosity rating is SAE 10W/40. If an SAE 10W/40 motor oil is not available, select an alternate according to the following

chart.

ENGINE OIL (For the other models)

Make sure that the engine oil you use comes under API classifi­ cation of SE or SF and that its viscosity rating is SAE 1OW/40. If an SAE 10W/40 motor oil is not available, select an alternate according to the following chart.

WARNING:

* Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manufacturer, 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 reuse brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long period.

FRONT FORK OIL

Use fork oil # 10.

COOLANT

Use an anti-freeze/coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distrilled water only.

WATER FOR MIXING

Use distrilled water only. Water other than distrilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.

ANTI-FREEZE/COOLANT

The coolant perform as a corrosion and rust inhabit as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the coolant should be used at all times even though the atomospheric temperature in your area does not go down to freezing point.

Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI GOLDEN C RUISER 1200NA anti-freeze/coolant. If this is not available, use an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.

LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATER/COOLANT

Solution capacity (total): 1900 ml (2.0/1.7 US/Imp qt)

For coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section, page 5-4. CAUTION:

Mixing of anti-freeze/coolant should be limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it would reduce its efficiency. If the anti-freeze/cool ant mixing ratio is below 50%, rust inhabiting performance is greatly reduced. Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric temperature does not go down to the freezing point.

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 " BR EA K-IN" before subjecting the engine to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercise during its early life. The general rules are as follows.

• Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:

Initial 800 km (500 miles): Below 5000 r/min Up to 1600 km (1000 miles): Below 8000 r/min Over 1600 km (1000 miles): Below 14000 r/min

• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1600 km (1000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation. However, do not exceed 14000 r/min at any time.

CYLINDER IDENTIFICATION

The four cylinders of this engine are identified as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 cylinder, as counted from left to right (as viewed by the rider on the seat).
