you use oil that does not meet
SUZUKI's specifications.
Use the oil specified in the

11.Reinstall the oil filler cap. Start
the engine (while the motorcy-
cle is outside on level ground)
and allow it to idle for a few
minutes.

approximately 3 minutes. Hold
the motorcycle vertically and
recheck the oil level on the
