INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The chart indicates the intervals be-
tween periodic services in miles, kil-
ometers and months. At the end of
each interval, be sure to inspect,
check, lubricate and service as in-
structed. If your motorcycle is used
under high stress conditions such as
continuous full throttle operation, or
is operated in a dusty climate, cer-
tain services should be performed
more often to ensure reliability of
the machine as explained in the ma-
intenance section. Your Suzuki deal-
er can provide you with further
guidelines. Steering components,
suspensions and wheel components
are key items and require very spe-
cial and careful servicing. For maxi-
mum safety we suggest that you
have these items inspected and serv-
iced by your authorized Suzuki deal-
er or a qualified service mechanic.
