INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The chart indicates the intervals
between periodic services in miles,
kilometers and months. At the end of
each interval, be sure to inspect,
check, lubricate and service as
instructed. If your motorcycle is used
under high stress conditions such as
continuous full throttle operation, or is
operated in a dusty climate, certain
services should be performed more
often to ensure reliability of the
machine as explained in the mainte-
nance section. Your Suzuki dealer
can provide you with further guide-
lines. Steering components, suspen-
sions and wheel components are key
items and require very special and
careful servicing. For maximum safety
we suggest that you have these items
inspected and serviced by your
authorized Suzuki dealer or a quali-
fied service mechanic.
A
WARNING
Improper maintenance or failure
to perform recommended mainte-
nance increases the chance of an
accident or motorcycle damage.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations
and schedules in this owner's
manual. Ask your SUZUKI dealer
or a qualified mechanic to do the
maintenance items marked with
an asterisk (*}. You may perform
the unmarked maintenance items
by referring to the instructions in
this section, if you have mechani-
cal experience. If you are not sure
how to do any of the jobs, have
your SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
mechanic do them.

a garage can be hazardous.

ment parts or their equivalent.
