ENGINE OIL
SUZUKI
recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4
MOTOR OIL or an oil which is rated SF or SG under the API
(American Petroleum Institute) service classification
. The rec-
ommended viscosity is SAE 1 OW-40
. If an SAE 1 OW-40 oil is not
available, select an altematice according to the right chart
.
BRAKE FLUID
Specification and classification
: DOT 4
A WARNING
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manu-
facturer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluid for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result
.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers
.
Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long
period
.
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oil L01 or an equivalent fork oil
.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
ENGINE COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze/engine 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-FREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant perform 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 SUZUKI COOLANT anti-freeze/engine coolant
. If this is not available, use
an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator
.
LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATER/ENGINE COOLANT
Solution capacity (total)
: 2 200 ml (2
.3/1
.9 US/Imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section, page 5-3
.
CAUTION
Mixing of anti-freeze/engine coolant should be limited to 60%
. Mixing beyond it would reduce
its efficiency
. If the anti-freeze/engine 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 point
.
