CLEANING
AND
LUBRICATING
e@
Wash
the
chain
with
kerosene.
If
the
chain
tends
to
rust
faster,
the
intervals
must
be
shortened.
CAUTION:
Do
not
use
trichlene,
gasoline
or
any
similar
fluids:
These
fluids
have
too
great
a
dissolv-
ing
power
for
this
chain
and,
what
is
more
important,
can
damage
the
“‘O”
rings
(or
seals)
confining
the
grease
in
the
bush-to-pin
clea-
rance.
Remember,
high
durability
comes
from
the
presence
of
grease
in
that
clearance.
After
washing
and
drying
the
chain,
oil
it
with
a
heavy-weight
motor
oil.
BRAKES
Inspect Every 3 000 km (2 000 miles)
Replace hoses Every 4 years
Change fluid Every 2 years
FRONT BRAKE
Brake fluid level
e
Support
the
motorcycle
by

or
block,
and
place
the
handlebars
straight.
e@
Check
the
brake
fluid
level
by
observing
the
lower
limit
mark
on
the
brake
fluid
reservoir.
e@ When the level is below the lower limit mark,
replenish with brake fluid that meets the follow-
ing specification.
SAE J1703, DOT3 or
DOT 4
CAUTION:
Do
not
use
any
oil
sold
commercially
as
“drive
chain
oil’.
Such
oil
too
can
damage
the
“O"
rings
(or
seals).
The
standard
drive
chain
is
DAIDO
D.1.D.520
vc-5
or
TAKASAGO
RK520KSO.
SUZUKI
recommends
that
the
above-mentioned
stand-
ard
drive
chain
be
used
for
the
replacement.
WARNING:
The brake system of this motorcycle is filled
with a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use
or mix different types of fluid such as sili-
cone-based and petroleum-based. Do not use
any brake fluid taken from old, used or
unsealed containers. Never re-use brake fluid
left over from the last servicing or stored for
long periods. vA |
