GENERAL
INFORMATION
ENGINE
COOLANT
Use an anti-freezelengine 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-FREEZUENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant performs 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
SUZUKl COOLANT anti-freezelengine coolant.
If
this is not available, use
an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATERlENGlNE COOLANT
Solution capacity (total): Approx.
1
400
ml (1.511.2 USllmp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section in page
6-2.
CAUTION
Mixing of anti-freezelengine coolant should be limited to
60%.
Mixing beyond it would reduce
its efficiency. If the anti-freezelengine coolant mixing ratio is below
50%
rust inhabiting perfor-
mance is greatly reduced. Be sure to mix it above
50%
even though the atmospheric tempera-
ture does not go down to the freezing polnt.
BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to "BREAK-IN" before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Break-In englne speeds
Initial
10
hours: Less than
%
throttle
After the engine has been operated for 10 hours the engine to full throttle operation, for short periods of
time.
