Fuel Pump Labeling
In some states, pumps that dis-
pense oxygenated
required to be labeled for the type
and percentage of oxygenate, and
whether important additives are
present. Such labels may provide
enough information for you to
determine if a particular blend of
fuel meets the requirements listed
above. In other states, pumps
may not be clearly labeled as to
the content or type of oxygen and
additives. If you are not sure that
the fuel you intend to use meets
these requirements, check with
the service station operator or the
fuel supplier.
NOTE:
• To help minimize air pollution,
Suzuki recommends that you
use oxygenated fuels.
• Be sure that any oxygenated
fuel you use has octane rat-
ings of at least 87 pump
octane ((R+M)/2 method).
• If you are not satisfied with the
drivability or fuel economy of
your motorcycle when you are
using an oxygenated fuel, or if
