vals between periodic services in
miles (kilometers) and months are

perform recommended mainte-
nance can be hazardous.

nance or do not maintain your
ATV, you may have an accident.
Keep your ATV in good condition.

fied mechanic to do the mainte-
nance items marked with an
asterisk (*). You may perform the

experience. If you are not sure
how to do any of the jobs, ask
your Suzuki dealer to do the main-
tenance.

lent.
