Cylinder Identification - Suzuki GSF650A Service Manual

Brake Fluid
Specification and classification: DOT 4
WARNING
!
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is
filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the
manufacturer, do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based and
petroleum-based fluid for refilling the
system, otherwise serious damage will
result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or
used or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid left over from a
previous servicing, which has been stored
for a long period.
Front Fork Oil
Use fork oil G10 or an equivalent fork oil.
Engine Coolant Recommendation
Engine Coolant
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an
aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
Water for mixing
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled water
can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
Anti-freeze/Engine coolant
The engine coolant perform as a corrosion and rust
inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine
coolant should be used at all times even though the
atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down
to freezing point.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI COOLANT anti-
freeze/engine coolant. If this is not available, use an
equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum
radiator.
Liquid amount of water/Engine coolant
Solution capacity (total)
3 000 ml (3.2/2.6 US/Imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to "Engine
Coolant Description in Section 1F (Page 1F-1)".
CAUTION
!
Mixing of anti-freeze/engine coolant should
be limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it would
reduce its efficiency. If the anti-freeze/engine
coolant mixing ratio is below 50%, rust
inhabiting performance is greatly reduced.
Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the
atmospheric temperature does not go down
to the freezing point.
BREAK-IN Procedures
During manufacture only the best possible materials are
used and all machined parts are finished to a very high
standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts
to "BREAK-IN" before subjecting the engine to maximum
stresses. The future performance and reliability of the
engine depends on the care and restraint exercised
during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
1) Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Speed limits
B817H20101007
Initial 800 km (500 miles): Below 6 000 r/min
Up to 1 600 km (1 000 miles): Below 9 000 r/min
Over 1 600 km (1 000 miles): Below 12 500 r/min
2) Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km (1
000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full
throttle operation. However, do not exceed 12 500 r/
min at any time.
