GEAR OIL (FINAL DRIVE GEAR BOX)
Use SAE 90 hypoid gear oil which is rated GL-5 under API classification system. If you operate the
motorcycle where ambient temperature is below 0°C (32” F), use SAE 80 hypoid gear oil.
BRAKE FLUID
Specification and classification: DOT4
WARNING:
* Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manufacturer,
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 reuse brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long period.
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oil #lo.
COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze/coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distrilled water only.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distrilled water only. Water other than distrilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
ANTI-FREEZE/COOLANT
The coolant perform as a corrosion and rust inhabit as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the coolant should be
used at all times even though the atomospheric temperature in your area does not go down to freezing
point.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI GOLDEN CRUISER 1200NA anti-freeze/coolant. If this is not
available, use an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
