Breaking-In Procedures; Cylinder Identification - Suzuki Madura GV700GL Service Manual

COOLING SOLUTION
Use an anti-freeze & Summer coolant compatible
with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled
water only.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled
water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
ANTI-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, usean equivalent which is
compatible with an aluminum radiator.
REQUIRED AMOUNT OF WATER/COOLANT
Solution capacity (total): 3 500 ml (3.7 US qt)
For coolant mixture information, refer to cooling
system section, page 5-3.
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 though the
atmospheric temperature does not go down to
freezing point.
Every new unit contains Bar's leak.

BREAKING-IN PROCEDURES
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 "BREAK-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 ( 500 mi) Below 4 000 r/min
Up to 1 600 km (1 000 mi) Below 6 000 r/min
Over 1 600 km (1 000 mi) Below 10 750 r/min
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600
km (1 000 mi) you can subject the motorcycle
to full throttle operation.
However, do not exceed 10 750 r/min 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 I.DENTIFICATION
The four cylinders of this engine are identified as
No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 cylinder, as counted
from left rear to right front (as viewed by the rider
on the seat).
