FINAL GEAR OIL

"
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oil #10 or an equivalent fork oil.
ENGINE COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
ANTI-FREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant perform as a corrosion and rust inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine
coolant should be used at all times even though the atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down
to freezing point.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI COOLANT anti-freeze/engine coolant. If this is not available, use
an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manu-
facturer, 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.
