side stand.
2. Remove both brake calipers
from the front forks by remov-
ing two mounting bolts 1 on
each of the caliper.

may result.

bolts 2 on the right front fork.

rarily.

tool is available at Suzuki dealer.
5. Place an accessory service
stand or equivalent under the
swing arm to help stabilize the
rear end.
6. Carefully position a jack under
the engine and raise the jack
until the front wheel is slightly
off the ground.

and draw it out.

ter.
Do not apply the jack head to
the fairing lower part or the oil
