CAUTION:
The standard tire fitted on this motorcycle is
100/80-21 56S for front and 130/80-17 65S
for rear. The use of tires other than the those
specified may cause instability. It is highly re-
commended to use a SUZUKI Genuine Tire.
STEERING
Inspect Initial 1 000 km (600 miles) and
Every 6 000 km (4 000 miles)
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth
turning of handlebar and safe running. Over tight
steering prevents smooth turning of the handlebar
and too loose steering will cause the handlebar to
vibrate.
Check that there is no play in the front fork
assembly by supporting the motorcycle so that the
front wheel is off the ground, with the wheel
straight ahead, grasp the lower fork tubes near the
axle and pull forward. If play is found, perform
steering bearing adjustment as described in page
6-23 of this manual.
