Check the side stand/ignition
inter-
lock switch for proper operation as
follows:
1. Sit on the motorcycle
in the
normal riding position, with the
side stand up.
2. Shift into first gear, hold the
clutch in, and start the engine. ,
3. While
continuing
to hold the
clutch in, move the side stand to
the down position.
If the engine stop running when the
side stand is moved to the down
position, then the side stand/igni-
tion interlock
switch
is working
properly. If the engine continues to
run with the side stand down and
the transmission
in gear, then the
side stand/ignition
interlock switch
is not working properly. Have your
motorcycle inspected by an author-
ized Suzuki dealer or a qualified
service mechanic.
Make sure that the side stand/igni-
tion
interlock
switch
is working
properly before riding. If the switch
is not working
and the side stand
is left down, it may interfere
with
rider control
during a left turn.

Tubeless
tires' require different
ser-
vice
procedures
than
tube
type
tires.
• Tubl'lless tires require an air-tight
seal between
the tire bead and
wheel
rim.' Damage
ton the tire
bead
surface
or the wheel
rim
inner surface will result in an air
leak.
Therefore.
special
care
must be taken when removing or
installing
the tire.
Special
tire
irons
and rim protectors.
or a
specialized
tire
mounting
ma-
chine,
must be used to prevent
damage.
• Repair
punctures
in tubeless
tires
by removing
the tire and
applying
an INTERNAL patch.
• After re-installing
a repaired tire.
do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
for at least
24 hours.
This will
help avoid excessive
heat buildup
which
could lead to tire repair
failure and subsequent
tire defla-
tion.
• Do not operate
your motorcycle
at speeds
above
130 km/h
(80
mph) with a repaired
tire. Heat
buildup could lead to tire repair
failure
and
subsequent
tire
deflation.
• Do not use an external tire repair
plug to repair a puncture.
since
the plug may work loose
as a
result
of the
cornering
forces
experienced
in a motorcycle
tire.
• Replace the tire if it is punctured
in the
sidewall
area;
or if a
puncture
in the
tread
area
is
larger
than
5 mm
(3/16
in).
These
punctures
cannot
be re-
paired pdequately.

Proper tire condition
and proper
tire type affect motorcycle perfor-
mance. Cuts or cracks in the tires
can lead to tire failure and loss of
motorcycle control. Worn tires are
susceptiple
to puncture
failures
and subsequent loss of motorcycle
control. Tire wear also affects the
tire profile, changing
motorcycle
handling characteristics.
Always palance the wheel after
repairing a puncture or replacing
the tire. Proper wheel balance is
important to avoid variable wheel-
to-road contact, and to avoid une-
ven tire wear.
Check tire conditions each day be-
fore you ride. Replace tires if tires
show visual evidence of damage,
such as cracks or cuts, or if tread
depth is less than 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
front, 2.0 mm (0.08 in) rear.
