ENGINE OIL (For U.S.A. model)
SUZUKI recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE
4 MOTOR OIL or an oil which is rated SE, SF or SG under
the API (American Petroleum Institute) classification system.
The viscosity rating is SAE 10W/40. If an SAE 1 OW/40 mo-
tor oil is not available, select an alternate according to the
right chart.
ENGINE OIL (For the other models)
Make sure that the engine oil you use comes under API clas-
sification of SE, SF or SG and that its viscosity rating is SAE
10W/40. If an SAE 1 OW/40 motor oil is not available, select
an alternate according to the right chart.

Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manufac-
turer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based fluid
for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long
period.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished
to a very high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to "BREAK-IN" before sub-
jecting the engine to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine de-
pends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to these break-in procedures:
Initial
800 km (
500 miles): Less than 1/2 throttle
Up to 1 600 km (1 000 miles): Less than 3/4 throttle
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km (1 000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle
to full throttle operation.
• Do not maintain constant engine speed for an extended time period during any portion of the break-
in. Try to vary the throttle position.
