RECOMMENDATIONS
FUEL
Use premium unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 95 or higher
(Research method). Unleaded gaso-
line can extend spark plug life and
exhaust components life.
NOTE: The LT-R450 engine is
designed to use premium unleaded
gasoline only. Use premium unleaded
gasoline under all riding conditions.
(For Canada)
Your motorcycle requires premium
unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump octane rating of 90 ((R+M)/2
method). In some areas, the only
fuels that are available are oxygen-
ated fuels.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the
minimum octane requirement and the
requirements described below may
be used in your motorcycle without
jeopardizing the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty or the Emission Control
System Warranty.
NOTE: The LT-R450 engine is
designed to use premium unleaded
gasoline only. Use premium unleaded
gasoline under all riding conditions.
NOTE: Oxygenated fuels are fuels
which contain oxygen carrying addi-
tives such as MTBE or alcohol.
Gasoline Containing MTBE
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) may be
used in your motorcycle if the MTBE
content is not greater than 15%. This
oxygenated fuel does not contain
alcohol.
Gasoline/Ethanol Blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and eth-
anol (grain alcohol), also known as
GASOHOL, may be used in your
motorcycle if the ethanol content is
not greater than 10%.
Gasoline/Methanol Blends
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol
(wood alcohol) may be suitable for
use in your motorcycle if they contain
co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
DO NOT USE fuels containing more
than 5% methanol under any circum-
stances. Fuel system damage or
motorcycle performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels
are not the responsibility of Suzuki
and may not be covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty or the
Emission Control System Warranty.
