FUEL, OIL AND COOLANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
FUEL
Your motorcycle requires regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump octane rating of 87 ((R+M)/2
method). In some areas, the only fuels
that are available are oxygenated fuels.
NOTE:
• If the engine develops some trouble
like lack of acceleration or insuffi-
cient power, the cause may be due
to the fuel the motorcycle uses. In
such case, try changing to a different
gas station. If the situation is not
improved by changing, consult your
Suzuki dealer.
• If pinking or knocking is experi-
enced, substitute higher octane
grade gasoline or another brand,
because there are differences
between brands.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the mini-
mum octane requirement and the
requirements described below may be
used in your motorcycle without jeopar-
dizing the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty or the Emission Control System
Warranty.
