WARNING
Inadequate throttle cable play can
cause engine speed to rise sud-
denly when you turn the handle-
bar. This can lead to loss of rider
control.
Adjust the throttle cable play so
that engine idle speed does not
rise due to handlebar movement.
CLUTCH
The clutch release mechanism of this
motorcycle is operated by hydraulic
pressure. There is no adjustment
needed on the clutch release system
because the system is self adjusting.
However, inspect the following items
each time before driving to make sure
that the system is in good condition
and functioning properly.
• Fluid level in the reservoir to be
above "LOWER" line.
• No fluid leakage.
• Smooth and sure action of clutch
lever.

WARNING
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if
swallowed, and harmful if it comes
in contact with skin or eyes.
If swallowed, do not induce vomit-
ing. Immediately contact a poison
control center or a physician. If
brake fluid gets in eyes, flush eyes
with water and seek medical atten-
tion. Wash thoroughly after han-
dling. Solution can be poisonous
to animals. Keep out of the reach
of children and animals.
.A
WARNING
Failure to keep the clutch fluid res-
ervoir full with the proper brake
fluid can be hazardous. The clutch
may not work correctly without the
proper amount and type of brake
fluid. This could lead to an acci-
dent.
Inspect the clutch fluid level
before each use. Use only DOT4
brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer. Never use or mix different
types of brake fluid. If there is fre-
quent loss of fluid, take your
motorcycle to a Suzuki dealer or a
qualified mechanic for inspection.
CAUTION
Spilled brake fluid can damage
painted surfaces and plastic parts.
Avoid spilling any fluid when fill-
ing the reservoir. Wipe up spills
immediately.
