11. Turn the engine off and wait for
three minutes. Hold the motorcycle
vertically and recheck the oil level
with the engine oil dipstick. The oil
level should be at the "F" (full)
mark. If it is lower than the "F"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "F"
mark. Inspect the area around the
drain plug and oil filter cover for
leaks.

CARBURETOR

The carburetor is factoryset for the best
performance. Do not attempt to alter its
setting. There are two items of adjust-
ment, however, under your care: idle
speed and throttle cable play.
Idle Speed Adjustment
To adjust the idle speed properly, you
need a tachometer. If you do not have
one, ask your authorized Suzuki dealer
or a qualified mechanic to perform this
adjustment.
• Start the engine and warm it up by
running 2000 r/min for 10 minutes in
summer (where ambient temperature
is 30°C (86°F) or thereabout) or for
20 minutes in winter (where ambient
temperature is down to –5°C (23°F)
or thereabout).
