Coolant; Braking-In Procedure; Cylinder Identification - Suzuki RG250 Service Manual

COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze & Summer coolant compatible
with aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water
only. at the ratio of 50 : 50.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distilled water only _ Water other than distilled
wa ter can corrode and . d og the aluminum radiator.
ANT1-FREEZE & SUMMER COOLANT
The coolant performs as corrosion and rust inhibi-
tor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the coolant
should be used at all times even though the atmos-
pheric temperature in your area does not go down
to freezing point.
SUZUKI recommends the use of SUZUKI GOLD-
EN CRUISER 1 200
anti-freeze
&
summer
coolant.
If this is not available, use an equivalent which is
compatible with aluminum radiator.

CAUTION:
Mixing of anti-freeze & summer coolant
should
be
limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it
would reduce its efficiency. If the anti-freeze
& summer coolant mixing ratio is below 30%.
rust inhibiting performance is greatly reduced .
Be sure to mix it above 30% even tho.ugh the
atmospheri c temperature does not go down to
freezing point.
Every new unit is filled with anti-leakage
material, Bar's leak.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-2
BREAKING-IN PROCEDURE
During manufacture only the best possible materi-
als are used and all machined parts are finished to a
very high standard but it is still necessary to allow
the moving parts to "BR EAK-IN " before subject-
ing the engine to maximum stresses. The future
performance and reliability of the engine depends
on the care and restraint exercised during its early
life. The general rules are as follows :
• Keep to these breaking-in engine speed limits:
Initial 800 km
Below 6 000 rlmin
Up to 1 600 km
Below 8 000
rlmin
Over 1 600 km
Below 12000 rlmin
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600
km you can subject the motorcycle to full
throttle operation.
However, do not exceed 12000 rlmin at any
time.
• Do not maintain constant engine speed for an
extended time period during any portion of the
break-in. Try to vary the throttle position.
CYLINDER IDENTIFICATION
The two cylinders of this engine are identified as
left and right cylinder (as viewed by the rider on
the seat).
