motorcycle. Proper break-in operation
during this time will help ensure maxi-
mum life and performance from your
new motorcycle. Suzuki parts are
manufactured of high quality materi-
als, and machined parts are finished
to close tolerances. Proper break-in
operation allows the machined sur-
faces to polish each other and mate
smoothly.
Motorcycle -.reliability and perftir-:

restraint exercised during the break-in
period. It is especially important that
